The presence of Lionel Messi brought a young mascot boy to tears in front of the enthusiastic crowd at DRV PNK Stadium, home of Inter Miami.
The Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi, continues to shine since joining Inter Miami. Most recently, Messi scored a brace in a resounding 4-0 victory against Atlanta in the 2023 Leagues Cup. In just two matches with Inter Miami, Messi has already left his mark with four goals, including three strikes and one assist.
It was during the pre-match rituals when the Inter Miami hero caught everyone's attention with the touching moment of a mascot boy bursting into tears. The 6-year-old boy, named Asahd, is the son of the famous DJ Khaled and has his own personal Instagram account with 1.5 million followers. That's why Asahd's teary-eyed reaction beside Messi instantly became a sensation on social media.
In response to the unexpected situation, Messi showed his fatherly side, comforting and consoling the young boy. The World Cup 2022 champion gently placed his hand on Asahd's shoulder to soothe him, creating a truly heartwarming moment.
DJ Khaled appreciated Messi's gentle encouragement for his son, expressing his pride in a social media post: "I am so proud of my son! Wishing all the best for @leomessi!!!" Some comments praised Messi as a wonderful father and a lovable and perfect man.
