BarcelonaSince leaving Barcelona, the Messi family has never hidden their love for Barça and Catalonia. Now, from Miami, Lionel Messi's family celebrated the thirteenth birthday of their eldest son, Thiago, surrounded by Barça crests and references to the club. And not even the star player could resist. Neither the Argentine nor his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, have made any effort to hide it. In fact, quite the opposite: they both shared pictures of the celebration on their Instagram accounts. In them, there's even an inflatable with the Barça crest and balloons in what appear to be the colors of the flag.

The post has caused a stir on social media, which has been flooded with heartfelt messages from thousands of Catalans and Barça fans for the family in Castelldefels. The official FC Barcelona account has also reacted, responding with two blue and red heart emojis. post The couple's post has garnered over four million likes, while Barça's response has over 115,000.
The family's return to Catalonia, however, will have to wait a little longer. In fact, just a couple of weeks ago, the best player in history signed a contract extension with Inter Miami, the club he has played for since leaving PSG. The agreement ties Messi to the American club until 2028.
