When he went to the seating area, Messi met Benjamin – the son of his teammate Luis Suarez.
The 11-year-old boy himself also knew Messi because he had met him many times and also played with his eldest son Thiago at the Inter Miami U13 team.

However, when he saw Messi, Benjamin did not react, just walked past. Witnessing this, Suarez’s wife Sofia immediately reminded her son to greet “Uncle Messi”.

Benjamin understood, stepped out to high-five the 2022 World Cup champion.

The short clip lasted only 15 seconds but has caused a stir on social media, attracting more than 42.5 million views so far. Many people praised Sofia’s way of raising children.
“That’s what a mother should teach her child – respect for elders,” one person wrote.
“She deserves an award for the way she raised her child,” another account said.
Messi and Suarez have been close friends since their time playing for Barca. Besides being teammates on the pitch, their families often meet and travel together. Inter Miami’s ownership of Messi is also one of the reasons Suarez agreed to play for the team. Messi’s wife Antonella and Suarez’s wife Sofia are also very close.
