LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)-Lionel Messi apparently comforted DJ Khaled’s upset kid prior to Inter Miami’s League Cup match against Atlanta United.
Messi entered the field of the DRV PNK Stadium alongside DJ Khaled’s son Asahd, who was one of Miami’s mascots and was seven years old.
He made care to console the crying toddler before the game started after he became overwhelmed by the roar of the crowd.

Messi extended his fairytale start to life in the United States by motivating Inter Miami to a resounding 4-0 victory. He scored once and provided two outstanding assists.
Inter Miami won’t play again until the beginning of next month against Charlotte in an MLS match.
