Mum ‘humbled’ after Lionel Messi plays football with her 11-year-old on holiday

A mother has said she was “humbled” after her 11-year-old son played football with football superstar Lionel Messi while on holiday in Antigua.

The 11-year-old English boy has enjoyed the experience of a lifetime after playing beach football with Lionel Messi.

Mackenzie O’Neill was on holiday with his family in Antigua when a man he believed was the superstar’s father Jorge asked him if he would like to play.

Anna O’Neill, from Canterbury, Kent, filmed her son Mackenzie playing with the Barcelona forward and three other children, including Messi’s son Thiago – who Mackenzie befriended during their stay at the private Caribbean resort.
