Messi is one of the greatest footballers to walk the earth, and Saint West, the son of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, knows it well. He had a chance that few have ever had: to step onto the field with a legend. The 8-year-old had the honor of walking alongside Lionel before the start of the MLS match between Inter Miami and L.A. Galaxy over the weekend. For Saint, it was more than a special moment; it was the realization of a dream, something that meant a lot to his mom.
Although famous faces and celebrities surround Kim Kardashian, the entrepreneur couldn’t help but feel excited and proud that her son met Messi. For that reason, she shared a heartwarming video on her social media, capturing her son walking hand in hand with the Argentine star, and expressing how incredible it was for her to live that unforgettable moment as a proud mother.
However, this isn’t the first time Kim has greatly admired Messi. In July 2023, the socialite shared a photo of her son with the footballer after his debut at Inter Miami, describing it as the “best day of their lives.” Since then, a friendship has developed between the young football fan and the sports superstar.
Immediately, Messi’s video with Kim Kardashian’s son caused a stir on social media, with thousands of users asserting that walking onto the field with Lionel is the dream of practically half the world, congratulating the young boy.
