Lionel Messi may not have found the net during FC Barcelona’s victory against Celta Vigo, but his thoughts were clearly with his newborn son, Thiago. Despite missing out on a goal celebration, Messi ensured that his son was represented on the field in a unique way.
In collaboration with his sponsor, the triple Ballon d’Or winner had Thiago’s name inlaid on his brand new “adidas” shoes. This thoughtful detail did not go unnoticed, as photographers captured the special attention given to Messi’s son.
While Thiago may have missed his dad’s goal celebration in this match, there’s anticipation that the upcoming Champions League fixture against Celtic Glasgow could be the stage for Messi’s first autographed masterpiece dedicated to his newborn son, possibly in Scotland.
