Lionel Messi and his son have linked up at Inter Miami as the legendary playmaker begins to guide his boy's football journey.

Lionel Messi’s oldest son Thiago has returned to school to continue his football education.

Thiago has teamed up with his famous father at Inter Miami after joining the club’s academy per the Sun. 

The lad has watched his father entertain the world in some of the biggest clubs and leagues in the world and looks set to follow in his footsteps.

The Argentine superstar has since inspired the club to greater heights with his impressive talent. 

Messi has scored 11 goals in just eight appearances so far, with some of the goals leading the club to the Leagues Cup title and US Open Cup final.

The Leagues Cup win also saw Messi become the most decorated player in football history with 44 titles, a feat he could extend with another win in the Open Cup. 

Messi continues to inspire Inter and has already hit the ground running in the Major League Soccer, MLS, after he netted one of the goals in a 2-0 win over New York Bulls in the season opener.

Thiago, who will turn 11 next month, will surely be a solid addition to the Inter Miami academy who will be glad to be adding another Messi to their squad.
