According to media reports, despite the names of Lionel Messi's and Cristiano Ronaldo's sons, Thiago and Cristiano Junior, being linked to their national teams of Argentina and Portugal, strict Spanish laws and the circumstances of their birth open the door to the possibility of both players wearing the 'La Roja' jersey in the future. The TCR account on X (formerly Twitter) stated: 'Cristiano Junior and Thiago Messi could play for the Spanish national team in the future.' Thiago was born in Barcelona in 2012, making him a Spanish citizen by birth and eligible to represent Spain. However, Argentine sources have confirmed that Thiago wants to play for the Argentina national team. Thiago is currently training at the Inter Miami academy, and the Argentine Football Association is monitoring him closely for inclusion in their youth 'Tango' projects, much like they did with his father in the past when he was tempted by Spain but declined. As for 'Don's' son, Cristiano Junior, who was born in California and lived for many years in Madrid, his legal situation is more complex. However, his sporting choice seems clearer, as he officially began representing the Portugal under-15 team, wearing the number 7 shirt, and even contributed to international victories, such as wins over Japan and Croatia.
