Recently, the former Barcelona prolific striker Luis Suarez reunited with his dear friends Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets at Inter Miami by signing a new contract with the American club co-owned by David Beckham. He recreated the iconic handshake with Thiago Messi, further cementing this memorable gathering.

In their recent home 5-0 triumph over Orlando City on Saturday, Lionel Messi’s eldest son, Thiago Messi, and Luis Suarez recreated a cheerful handshake, seven years after the original. The clip captured the adorable interaction, with Thiago’s brother, Mateo Messi, also taking part in it.
In 2017, during the Golden Shoe Gala, Suarez and Thiago shared a handshake and an amusing exchange, staring at each other and laughing while sitting together. That evening in Barcelona, Lionel Messi won his sixth accolade, with both Messi and Suarez being Barcelona players at the time.
Where is Thiago Messi playing right now?
Following in the footsteps of Lionel Messi, who moved to Inter Miami in June 2023, his son Thiago Messi also joined Inter Miami’s under-12 youth, being admitted to the club’s academy. Before this, the 11-year-old had never been associated with any academy during their stay in Europe.
Thiago Messi is part of Inter Miami’s under-12 side, which is considered the strongest among all five academy teams of the club. Lionel Messi has been spotted attending Thiago’s academy games, and clips of his playing skills have captured the attention of fans, showcasing him replicating the skills of his famed father.
