Thiago, the eight-year-old son of Argentinian football legend Lionel Messi, has earned the praise of social media after his interaction with a cheeky Barca fan.
According to The Daily Star, the exchange occurred on Monday when fans gathered outside Messi’s family home in Barcelona where the footballer was "enjoying a pool party with friends and family, including former Barca team mate Luis Suarez."
“Where is Messi? We are going to laugh at him," one of the fans told Thiago.
"And I am going to laugh at your father?" he replied.
A number of social media users seemed to approve of Messi’s son’s actions, lauding him for his conduct.
A longtime FC Barcelona player, Messi parted ways with the club last week due to "financial and structural obstacles".
On Tuesday it was revealed that the footballer is joining PSG.
