A new chapter of Messi versus Real Madrid begins as Inter Miami takes part in the LALIGA FC Futures tournament in Spain.
LALIGA FC Futures, a youth tournament for young people aged seven to 12, has announced its 2024 schedule with an exciting surprise: Thiago Messi, Lionel's eldest son, and his Inter Miami team will be in Group A alongside Real Madrid, Betis and Dortmund. Although the list of young players traveling from Miami to Gran Canaria has not yet been finalized, it is very likely that Messi Jr. will be part of the selection.
Thiago, who plays for Inter Miami's U-12 team, regularly attends these types of tournaments. The Argentine star's firstborn will play against his father's beloved Newell's Old Boys this Monday (November 25) in Illinois as Inter Miami is one of the teams taking part in the Newell's Cup, which will be held in the US.
When is the match between Real Madrid and Inter Miami?
If everything goes as expected, the Inter Miami – Real Madrid match in the youth tournament will take place on Friday, December 27, immediately after the Christmas holidays and just before New Year's. This timing could allow Lionel Messi, who is on holiday, to spend the holidays in Spain, which would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.
Barcelona and Real Madrid shine among former participants
