Before making his Inter Miami debut on Tuesday, Lionel Messi consoled DJ Khaled’s small child by stepping out as a mascot before kickoff.

The uproar that greeted the team as they went onto the field at DRV PNK Stadium looked to be the cause of Asahd, 7, crying while standing in front of Messi in the team lineup.

Pulse Sports Nigeria on X: “Lionel Messi consoled DJ Khaled’s crying youngster before the game, and after the game, the Argentine met DJ Khaled himself. Is there.

Lionel Messi comforted DJ Khaled’s 7-year-old son Asahd, who was an Inter Miami mascot on Tuesday.

As young Asahd regained his composure, he gave a thumbs up to soccer’s biggest star, which Messi saw and responded to.

Following that, DJ Khaled shared a video of Messi leading his son onto the pitch before the game, captioned ‘I’m incredibly proud of my son!’ God bless you, @leomessi.

Messi showed his soft side before kickoff, but once play began, he exposed his ruthless side.

He scored twice in the first twenty-two minutes to assist his new Inter Miami team upset Atlanta United, 4-0.

Asahd appeared to be stunned by the clamor that welcomed the Miami squad to the field.

Sergio Busquets set him up for his first goal, which he scored by racing through on goal and hitting the post with his initial shot.

When Atlanta failed to clear a pass into the penalty box, he scored his second. Following that, a new teammate, Robert Taylor, scored twice before halftime to seal a convincing victory.

Messi played 78 minutes in his second game back for the squad, as he continues to recover from his injury.

He began crying, but Messi quickly saw and ensured that he was okay.

Celebrities including P Diddy and Camilla Cabello joined DJ Khaled at Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium on Tuesday for Messi’s second game.
