Thiago Messi and Benjamín Suárez, sons of football superstars Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, recently made headlines by winning the Easter International Cup with Inter Miami's under-12 team. The youth tournament, hosted by Mexican club Monterrey in Kissimmee, Florida, featured over 300 teams, including 30 international sides, vying for the coveted title.
During the final match against Florida Kraze, 11-year-old Thiago, sporting the iconic No. 10 jersey, showcased his skills by scoring a goal in their 4-0 victory. His younger brother, 10-year-old Benjamín, also played a crucial role in the team's success, contributing to their impressive performance throughout the tournament.
The young duo's triumph at the Easter International Cup marks a significant achievement in their budding football careers, following in the footsteps of their illustrious fathers. Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, former teammates at Barcelona, have enjoyed immense success at the highest levels of the sport, winning prestigious titles such as the Champions League and LaLiga.
Since Suarez's move to Inter Miami in December, the families have been reunited in Miami, creating a unique bond both on and off the field. As proud parents, Messi and Suarez have undoubtedly been cheering on their sons as they continue to hone their skills and make a name for themselves in the world of football.
Looking ahead, Thiago and Benjamín will be eagerly supporting Inter Miami in their upcoming CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal first leg against Liga MX side Monterrey. While Messi's return to action following a hamstring injury remains uncertain, the young talents are poised to carry on the legacy of their legendary fathers and carve out their own paths in the sport.
