The Argentine made a double and the 400th assist in his career and immediately after the final whistle went to the stands, where his mother was waiting for him.
Messi took off his game shirt and threw it to his mother, Celia Maria Cuccittini, who could not contain her emotions. The footage shows Leo hugging her tightly while she holds a pink Inter Miami T-shirt.

Sportbible’s publication is accompanied by the caption: “A special moment between mother and son.”
For Messi, this gesture became symbolic – it was his mother who supported him since childhood, when he took his first steps in football in Rosario, and now she was there again at the moment of a new historic achievement.
