Lionel Messi went to his first Miami Heat game, and his family seemed to have a good time after dressing in NBA gear.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, who currently plays for the Inter Miami MLS team in Florida, was present as the Heat and Boston Celtics resumed their playoff series. They lost 102-88, unable to put on a winning performance for the distinguished guests.

Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro, Messi’s three sons, together with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, joined him at Kaseya Centre. Along with friends and family, the Argentine’s club teammates Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba travelled as well.

With some personalised Heat jerseys, the Messi family set the tone for some intense basketball action. Not unexpectedly, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro were given No. 10, the same number that their well-known father still wears for both the club and the nation, on their replica jerseys.

The No.10 is no longer in use with the Heat, having been retired in honour of Tim Hardaway in 2009, but Messi was never going to plump for any other number. Having spent an evening courtside, the soccer legend will be back on the pitch when facing the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
