The veteran striker posted two photos, one of him and his wife, the other of a moment of him and his wife with their three sons Thiago, Mateo and Ciro. The Argentine superstar looked happy in both photos, but did not write any captions. Two photos of Messi’s house garnered almost 8 million likes after half a day.
Messi and his teammates have just returned to the United States after a tour of Asia since the end of January. The forward, born in 1987, is known for being a family man and an introvert. On his personal page, in addition to photos from training sessions and competitions, there are moments with his wife and three children. Unlike his teammates who usually celebrate after the match, Messi spends all his free time with his wife and children.

Messi and Inter Miami's new pre-season tour did not go as expected, winning just one of six matches. In the only win against the Hong Kong stars, 4-1, Messi was injured and did not play, causing the crowd to angrily boo and demand their money back. After leaving the fragrant port, Messi apologized to the crowd and explained that he felt bad in his thigh muscles and did not play.
In the remaining 5 matches, Messi played but did not complete the entire match. Inter Miami lost 0-1 to Dallas in the United States before leaving for a tour of Asia. The American team lost 3-4 to Al Hilal, lost 0-6 to Al Nassr, and lost 3-4 after a penalty shootout to Vissel Kobe. On the morning of February 16 (Hanoi time), Messi and his teammates played against Newell's Old Boys, his childhood team, at DRV PNK's home field. On February 22, Inter Miami kicked off the new MLS season with a match against Real Salt Lake.
