Ciro didn’t yell or throw a tantrum 🛒
He only asked his dad if he could take a box of cereal, and Messi, like any father in any supermarket in the world, said yes and put it in the cart. Nothing more. But that “nothing more” was enough for the video to go viral within minutes.
What drew attention wasn’t luxury or fame: it was simplicity. Thousands of users pointed out that, despite growing up in a family with an enviable financial position, Ciro still asked permission and respected his father’s word. “That’s good parenting”, someone wrote. “That’s how children should be raised”, another added.
In the end, neither Champions nor the Ballon d’Or generated as much tenderness as seeing Messi simply being a dad 🐐👶
