The veteran striker posted two photos, one of him and his wife, the other a moment of him and his wife with their three sons Thiago, Mateo and Ciro. The Argentinian superstar looked happy in both photos, but he didn’t write any captions. Two photos of Messi’s house attracted nearly 8 million “likes” after half a day.
Messi and his teammates have just returned to the US after an Asian tour from the end of January. The striker born in 1987 is known as a family man and introvert. His personal page, in addition to training and competition photos, are all moments with his wife and three children. Unlike his teammates who often party after the match, Messi spends all his free time with his wife and children.
Messi and Inter Miami’s new pre-season tour did not go as expected when they only won one out of six matches. In the only win against the Hong Kong stars 4-1, Messi was injured and did not play, causing the audience to angrily boo and demand their money back. After leaving the fragrant port, Messi apologized to the audience and explained that he felt bad in his thigh muscles so he did not play.
In the remaining 5 matches, Messi played but did not complete the entire match. Inter Miami lost 0-1 to Dallas in the US before going on tour to Asia. The American team lost 3-4 to Al Hilal, lost 0-6 to Al Nassr and lost 3-4 after a penalty shootout to Vissel Kobe. On the morning of February 16 (Hanoi time), Messi and his teammates played against Newell’s Old Boys – his childhood team – at DRV PNK’s home field. On February 22, Inter Miami kicked off the new MLS season with a match against Real Salt Lake.
