Messi's Kids Name Their Favorite Stars Across Europe
Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, captain of Inter Miami, has revealed the players his children pay close attention to these days.
The five names include four La Liga stars and one Premier League figure.
Specifically, Messi notes his kids follow Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona), Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid), and Erling Haaland (Manchester City).
The narrative also nods to Messi's own storied Barça era, a spell that saw him become arguably the greatest in the club's history.
Messi has turned out 778 official appearances for Barcelona, scoring 672 goals, with 269 assists and 34 trophies in all competitions.
According to The Touchline on X, the kids' interest centers on the five stars named above.
Messi said: "My kids follow Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona), Mbappe and Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid), and Haaland (Manchester City)."
Punchline 1: If Messi's kids are already building a dream team, the only thing missing is a family passport for the trophy cabinet.
Punchline 2: When your dad is the GOAT, your scouting list is basically a highlight reel with homework attached.
