Kanye West‘s son Saint walked out with Lionel Messi as Inter Miami played their first game of the MLS season against the Los Angeles Galaxy.
In a video shared on social media by the team, Saint can be seen acting as Messi’s mascot and holding his hand as he walked onto the pitch before Sunday’s (February 25) match in L.A.
His mother Kim Kardashian shared the clip and wrote: “Saint walking Messi out on the field tonight at La Galaxy vs Inter Miami!! He is living the absolute dream!”
Kardashian also shared a clip on her Instagram Stories of her son dancing on the sideline.
8-year-old Saint proved to be something of a good luck charm for Messi and Miami as the Argentinian forward scored a last-minute equalizer to avoid defeat.
Miami, who won the Leagues Cup last year in Messi’s first season, now head back to Florida to play state rivals Orlando City on Saturday (March 2).

In the past, Saint West has proven to be soccer mad, celebrating his eighth birthday in December with a party themed around the sport.
For his birthday, Kim Kardashian transformed her garden into a soccer paradise with multiple blow-up houses where Saint and his friends could play the game.
The food was also soccer themed, with Saint’s birthday cake decorated to look like a ball.
Messi isn’t the first soccer star Saint has met. Last year, he was seen with Cristiano Ronaldo in Japan where the former Manchester United and Real Madrid legend performed his signature celebration with the child.
Saint also met with Brazilian star Neymar on the trip.
Kardashian has supported her son’s love of soccer, accompanying him to Messi’s debut game with Inter Miami last year.
She said to Apple TV about Saint’s love of the sport: “My son. He is obsessed with soccer, and I will do anything for my babies, so I travel the world. We do soccer trips, and it’s not stopping; all summer, we will go to different exhibition games.”
The reality star also said his favorite player was Messi.
Kanye West was also seen taking Saint to a soccer game last October as the two attended the Serie A match in Italy between Genoa and AC Milan.
Saint’s love of soccer appears to be rubbing off on his rap star father, who wasrecently spotted at another game in Italy as Inter Milan took on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Ye was joined at the game by his wife Bianca Censori, Ty Dolla Sign, Playboi Carti, Rich The Kid, Jaden Smith, Russ and director Aus Taylor.
