Messi surprises son of former Barcelona player after match

Argentina defeated Iceland in a friendly match as part of their preparations for the World Cup. It was a clash where Messi once again shone, scoring a goal, and the Argentine star surprised everyone by chatting with an Icelandic player after the final whistle. Both players were seen conversing for a while, showing clear signs of closeness. The player was Daniel Tristan Gudjohnsen, son of Eidur, the legendary Icelandic forward who played for Barcelona for four seasons alongside Messi countless times on and off the field. Eidur joined the Catalan club in 2006, the same year Daniel was born. Now, at 20 years old, he is a striker for Malmo in the Swedish league. Messi's career has become so vast that he is now facing the sons of former teammates. The Argentine admitted his surprise: "He said, 'Do you remember who I am?' He surprised me; he told me he was Gudjohnsen's son. I don't remember him, to be honest; he was little. I recall meeting him, being with his father at some training sessions, but I didn't remember." Judging from the pictures, it seems that Messi got along well with Eidur back in the day. The former Icelandic footballer also has two other footballer sons: The eldest, Sveinn Aron, who plays for Cavese 1919 in the Italian Serie C, and Andri, the middle one, a forward for Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Championship.
