Before playing his first game for Inter Miami on Tuesday, Lionel Messi went out as a mascot with DJ Khaled to comfort his small child before kickoff.

Asahd, 7, broke down in tears as he stood in front of Messi in the team lineup, seemingly due to the cheers that greeted the team as they took the field at the DRV PNK Stadium.

Pulse Sports Nigeria on X: “Prior to the game, Lionel Messi consoled DJ Khaled’s weeping son, and following the game, the Argentine crossed paths with DJ Khaled himself. Exists

On Tuesday, Lionel Messi consoled DJ Khaled’s seven-year-old son Asahd, who was an Inter Miami mascot.

When young Asahd collected himself, he gave the biggest soccer star a thumbs up, which Messi saw and reciprocated.

Subsequently, DJ Khaled shared a video of Messi escorting his son onto the pitch prior to the commencement of the match, expressing his immense pride in him. @leomessi, may God bless you!

The clamor that welcomed the Miami players on the field seemed to overwhelm Asahd.

His first goal came after he raced through on goal and struck the post on his first effort, assisted by Sergio Busquets.

He scored his second when Atlanta failed to clear a pass into the penalty area. Following that, new teammate Robert Taylor scored twice before halftime to ensure a convincing victory.

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