The La Liga Futures tournament is currently taking place in Orlando, and this year there is a lot of interest in it compared to recent years. The tournament contains 12 teams of children up to the age of 12, with seven teams from La Liga and another five international teams.
In the game that took place today, Real Sociedad’s children’s team met that of Inter Miami, in which the sons of Leo Messi and Luis Suarez, Thiago and Benjamin, are playing.
Thiago Messi, 11.5 years old, started in the lineup, while Benjamin Suarez started on the bench. The meeting was tight at the beginning, when Thiago played in the striker position and tried to pressure the Basque defense. In the eighth minute, Tiago with the number 10 on his back went down to the bench, the one who came up in his place is Benhamin, with the number 19.
A minute later, Benjamin managed to steal a ball in the Sociedad box, but his kick was stopped from close range by the goalkeeper. Half a minute later, Benjamin reached another one-on-one situation and kicked hard, but again could not find the net.
In the second half Thiago Messi returned to the field, but Benjamin Suarez went down to rest. In the 19th minute, Thiago was again replaced by Benjamin. Finally, the match ended in a disappointing 0:0 for both teams.
As part of Group A, from which two teams will advance to the quarter-finals stage, Inter Miami’s next match will be tomorrow at 17:00 against none other than Barcelona. The games are broadcast on channel ONE.
The teams participating in the tournament are Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid, Villarreal, Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Betis from Spain, with Inter Miami, Hasania Agadir, River Plate, Flamengo and Orlando City also participating from different countries. On Saturday, June 15, the grand final will take place.
