Being born to famous parents, they get to attend these matches with the VIP entrance, along with the meet and greet of their favorite players.

We often see the former couple attend their children’s school matches, showing their active encouragement in sports. At the ripe age of seven, Saint West takes great interest in following his idols. After meeting Messi, he did not hold back on declaring who he prefers more.

Kim Kardashian has been an absolute soccer mom, taking her son Saint West to various football matches even if that means flying around the world. They had a crossover when famous internet personality Speed approached them during the match. He asked her son which player he prefers, between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The young one answered, “Ronaldo” in a low voice, but his mother, Kim Kardashian, tried to keep him from saying it out loud. Her answer was rather diplomatic, as she refused to take sides. 

They then clicked a photo together, following a distraction from the ongoing match. Speed, whose real name is Darren Watkins, is a YouTuber and internet sensation holding influence amongst young fans. He and Saint quickly got along over their love for the game.

Dreams are a call away when your parents have contacts around the world. Kim Kardashian arranged for a video call between her son and ace player Neymar, wherein the former wished a speedy recovery to the latter. This was just after the player sustained an injury during the PSG match. Saint and his friend excitedly wore jerseys and posed with French forward player Mbappe.

The mother-son duo recently attended Messi’s debut at the Inter Miami match. They showed support for Ronaldo’s team, and the kid later clicked a selfie with the player. Of course, that did not affect his decision to choose Ronaldo instead.
