Lionel Messi helped by Luis Suarez to bring Thiago home from nursery

Veronica Brunati, the Argentine journalist and widow of our colleague Topo López and also one of the reporters who knows Leo Messi and the people close to him the best, wrote a very interesting article the other day about the headaches that the Argentinian star has every time he goes to pick up his son Thiago from nursery.

The little boy is so happy at his school that he doesn’t want to go home when his father picks up at the end of the day, and poor Leo has to carry out the thankless task of taking the boy away, as Thiago does not stop crying and complaining all the way home.

However, judging by photos taken exclusively by SPORT, it seems that Leo has looked for an ally to help him pick up Thiago. And this ‘unconditional’ friend is none other than Luis Suarez, whose children go to the same school as Leo Messi’s son.

It’s obvious that joining forces always makes the challenge easier and that is what Messi will have been thinking as he heads to the nursery every day at 1pm, accompanied by the Uruguayan.

And it looks as if the results are paying off, because those who witnessed the scene inform us that Thiago was very happy and pleased when his father came to pick him up along with his strike partner.

This is yet another problem solved by Leo, who enters the final stage of the season in an ideal manner after announcing he and his partner Antonella Roccuzzo are having a second child.
