Thiago Messi and Cristiano Junior in one team

Press reports confirmed that although the names “Thiago” and “Junior” are associated with the Argentine and Portuguese shirts, the strict Spanish laws and the nature of their upbringing open the door to seeing the sons of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the “La Roja” shirt side by side.

Account said TCR Via X: “Both Cristiano Junior and Thiago Messi may play for the Spanish national team in the future.”

Thiago was born in Barcelona in 2012, which makes him a Spanish citizen by birth and eligible to represent the Spanish national team, but Argentine reports confirmed that Thiago wants to play for the Argentina national team.

Thiago is currently training at the Inter Miami Academy, and the Argentine Federation is closely monitoring him to include him in youth “Tango” projects, just as they did with his father when he was tempted by Spain in the past and he refused.

As for the son of “Don”, who was born in California and lived for many years in Madrid, his legal situation is more complex, but his sporting choice seems clearer given that he officially began representing the Portugal U-15 team, wore the number 7 shirt, and even contributed to achieving international victories such as wins over Japan and Croatia.
