At Super Bowl LIX, held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Lionel Messi and his son, Mateo, shared a memorable interaction with NFL star Tyreek Hill. Messi, attending the event with his family and Inter Miami teammates, was seen enjoying the game from a VIP suite.

In a light-hearted moment captured on video, Mateo, wearing a Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs jersey, engaged in a conversation with Hill. When Hill inquired about Mateo’s favorite player, the young Messi cheekily responded, “You,” eliciting laughter from those nearby. Lionel Messi, observing the exchange, couldn’t help but smile at his son’s playful fib.

This charming encounter between Mateo and Hill added a touch of personal connection to the high-profile event, highlighting the universal appeal of sports and the joy it brings across different cultures and generations.
