Although he now plays for Inter Miami, Lionel Messi (38 years old) never forgets FC Barcelona, the club that marked his career and life. The Argentine star and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo (37) threw a spectacular Blaugrana-themed party for their son Thiago's 13th birthday.
Red and blue decorations, the Barcelona emblem, the motto “more than a club” and a huge cake in the shape of the Camp Nou stadium turned the Messi family home in Miami into a real piece of Catalonia.
“How beautiful it is to celebrate you, Thiago! We love you so, so much 🤍🎂”, Antonela wrote on social networks, along with photos from the party.
Thiago, dressed in Barcelona's 2024/25 away kit with the name 'Thiago 13' emblazoned on the back, was the star of the day and the images posted quickly went viral.
Lionel Messi was already a Barcelona player at 13 years old
The party was a declaration of love towards FC Barcelona, the club where Messi arrived at just 13 years old, the same age Thiago is now.
From his debut at 17 until his departure in 2021, the Argentine scored 672 goals in 778 matches, winning 6 of the 8 Ballon d'Ors and all possible trophies with the Catalan side.
Under Pep Guardiola, Messi was the pièce de résistance of the generation that won the historic 'sextuple' in 2009.

Although he now lives in the United States, Thiago confessed that he admires Lamine Yamal (18), Barcelona's new star, and dreams of playing alongside him one day.
