Argentinian star Lionel Messi, a player for Inter Miami, attracted attention when he comforted a child before his team's match against Atlanta United in the Leagues Cup. Messi noticed the child crying and tried to calm him several times, then patted his shoulder, showcasing some of his fatherly tenderness, according to The Sun newspaper.
The newspaper speculated that the reason for the child’s tears was the noisy atmosphere at Lockhart Stadium during Messi’s first match in front of Inter Miami fans.
The crying child is identified as the son of famous musician Khaled Mohammad, known as DJ Khaled. He is six years old and has over 1.5 million followers on social media platform Instagram.
Messi's "kind" gesture received praise from DJ Khaled, who commented on his official Instagram account saying, "I am very proud of my son, God bless you, Lionel Messi."
