Even though her father’s team, LAFC, was defeated by Inter Miami by a score of 3-1 on Sunday night, Giorgio Chiellini’s daughter insisted that she take a picture with Lionel Messi after the match.

The No. 10 was outstanding once again for the MLS side, as he assisted his team to a crucial away victory by tallying two assists and contributing to the scoring of two goals.

After the game, the defender Chiellini asked the Argentine if he would take a picture with his daughter and a friend, and the Argentine enthusiastically complied with the request. Chiellini’s daughter was completely blown away by the Argentine.

Before giving Chiellini a final embrace, Messi wrapped his arm around the two girls and posed for the shot.

when the game, the Italian had nothing but kind words to say about Inter Miami, especially when Jordi Alba scored his first goal for Miami, which started the scoring.

Messi’s team has gone unbeaten in all 11 games since the day he made his debut for the club. Messi, Alba, and Sergio Busquets were instrumental in the club’s victory over Nashville SC in the League Cup.

Later on this month, the team will also compete against the Houston Dynamo in the final of the US Open Cup.

In Major League Soccer, though, Miami still have a long way to go before even having a chance to enter the playoffs due to the team’s terrible play before Messi arrived.

The club had the lowest points tally in MLS before the Argentine’s debut, and is still eight points out of the Eastern Conference’s last play-in spot in 14th place.

With nine games remaining (more than every East rival due to its Leagues Cup run), every game will be a near must-win for Miami.

Messi and Co. will face Sporting KC on Saturday.
