The player helped Inter Miami’s U13 team secure a 12-0 victory over Atlanta United’s U13 team. Thiago personally contributed 11 of those goals.
Thiago opened the scoring in the 12th minute and followed up with four more goals in the first half. In the second half, he added six more goals at the 51st, 57th, 67th, 76th, 87th, and 89th minutes. Between Thiago’s goals, Diego Luna scored in the 81st minute.
Witnessing Thiago’s brilliance, many people congratulated both the young player and his father, Lionel. They hope to see a future version of Messi who is even more formidable than the original.
Mundo Deportivo (Spain) stated: “We don’t know if Thiago can play like Lionel Messi. That would be very difficult. But it’s clear that Thiago is following in his father’s footsteps. He shows great ambition.”

While Thiago still has a long way to go in youth teams, his development raises high hopes among fans, including his father, Lionel Messi.
Thiago joined Inter Miami’s youth team after his father, Lionel Messi, signed with the club. The eldest Messi wears the number 10 jersey and plays as an attacking midfielder. Since joining Inter Miami, Thiago has gained more attention for his consistent performances at the youth level.
Lionel Messi once described his son as a “special talent.” He places high expectations on Thiago and closely follows his progress in youth competitions.
