And as well as his goals and assists and celebrity attraction, Messi also demonstrated his fatherly kindness.
The Argentine walked out for Tuesday night’s clash against Atlanta United holding Asahd’s hand.
But the six-year-old – who has 1.5million Instagram followers – burst into tears as they stepped out into the DRV PNK Stadium, presumably because of the noise.
Messi checked up on the youngster and when they stood on the pitch for the line-up ahead of kick-off, the World Cup winner put his reassuring hands on the kid’s shoulders.
It was a heartwarming moment – and Asahd’s famous dad clearly appreciated father-of-three Messi’s gentle encouragement.
DJ Khaled said: “I’m so proud of my son! Bless @leomessi!!!”
Plenty of other fans hailed the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner for his classy touch.
One said: “He’s the Goat, a great father, a lovely man. Messi is just perfect.”

Another wrote: “A kind attitude GOAT.”
A third added: “This is the reason why we call him GOAT.”
And a fourth wrote: “Ruthless as a player, softie as a person.”
Messi proved that ruthless streak on the pitch once the game got underway.
Just a few days on from his match-winning 94th-minute free-kick on his debut, the former Barcelona legend followed it up with two goals inside the first 22 minutes against Atlanta.
He then added two assists for Robert Taylor as Inter Miami ran out 4-0 winners in the Leagues Cup in front of a host of celebrities.
DJ Khaled was joined by Diddy and Camila Cabello while Rauw Alejandro and Ray Allen were also in attendance.
