Lionel Messi never ceases to amaze on and off the field. The Argentine striker played a perfect game in Inter Miami’s MLS playoff win over Nashville, scoring two goals and helping the club reach the next round for the first time in its history. But football can sometimes take a backseat to gestures like the one No. 10 shared with his mother at the end of a game.
Messi has always been characterized as a very humble person who never forgets where he came from, so he is always seen making gestures with his fans. However, what attracted the most attention was the Argentine player’s post-match action, in which he gave a gift to his mother, who was watching the MLS match with the striker’s father.

Cameras captured a unique moment between Lionel Messi and his parents after scoring two goals and securing a historic qualification. After the match, many fans asked the Inter Miami star for his jersey, but Messi had a clear idea of who to give it to.
Messi approached the box where his parents were watching the match and decided to throw his shirt to his mother, who received it with great happiness and love.
The scene went viral online and showed Messi, despite his greatest fame, not forgetting about his family, giving another shirt to the person who supported him from the beginning, and now celebrating the achievements of his beloved son.
Mascherano assesses Messi’s new role on the pitch
Coach Javier Maccherano was very happy with Inter Miami’s victory and said after the match that they were under a lot of pressure but were able to cope well and earn the match and qualification.
The Argentine coach praised Messi’s excellent performance and used the opportunity to highlight a new side of the forward. “I have to praise Messi’s performance, because for the first time he led us with a high press. It’s great to be able to press like he did today at the age of 38. We know what Messi brings with the ball, but what he did today without the ball was truly unbelievable.”
Messi continues to make history with Inter Miami and is already preparing for the next game against Atlanta United, but the Argentine knows he has time for his family, and this was evidenced by the gift from his mother.
