FootballLionel Messi: Kim Kardashian Elated as Saint West Walks Argentine onto The Pitch
- Lionel Messi started for Inter Miami against LA Galaxy
- He had a delightful moment with Saint West before the game
- Messi scored late to give his side the equaliser
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s son Saint got the experience of a lifetime as he walked out with Lionel Messi before Inter Miami’s game against LA Galaxy.
Saint is “obsessed with soccer”, as his mother once put it, and it looks like Kim is willing to use her immense influence to help her second-eldest child realise his dreams.
On this occasion, Saint West got the rare privilege of being a mascot to a football player considered the best in the history of the sport.
In a video shared by Daily Loud on X, Messi and Saint were hand-in-hand as they made their way inside the Dignity Health Sports Park, as is the tradition before any football match.

And, of course, Kim K also shared a similar video with her 7 million followers on X with the caption:
“Saint walking Messi out on the field tonight at the La Galaxy vs Inter Miami game!!! He is living the absolute dream!”
How the game went
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner was pretty quiet in the first half, managing just 27 touches, his second fewest since joining the MLS.
Messi came to life in the second half and nearly orchestrated a goal for his side after his free kick bounced off the wall and onto the feet of his teammate Diego Gomez right in front of goal. Gomez was, however, denied by John McCarthy, per ESPN.
Saint West and the rest of the fans at the stadium finally got their money’s worth as they witnessed Messi score a brilliant late goal to save his team from defeat against LA Galaxy, who had earlier taken the lead through Dejan Joveljic.
