In the Miami game, Kim's son arrived with braided hair styled into an 'M-10' as a tribute to Messi, and proudly donned Inter Miami's jersey, ESPN reported.

Subsequently, Messi graciously posed for photos with them and gifted the young fan a personalized jersey.

The influencer took to her social media to share her journey to Japan, spanning an impressive 4,350 miles of air travel to witness the match.

While in Japan, they indulged in a delightful dining experience at an exclusive restaurant in Osaka and explored a fascinating museum, per Marca.

Notably, her son proudly sported Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid jersey, hailing him as the "greatest player of all time."

Upon reaching Yanmar Field Nagai Stadium in Japan, the kid had a wardrobe change, opting for Neymar's jersey, as he was eager to witness the footballer live in action.

Later, he was fortunate enough to acquire Neymar's match jersey, a cherished memento from the experience.

These journeys to witness their idols in person will undoubtedly become unforgettable memories for Kim Kardashian's son.
