Thiago, 11, donning the No. 10 jersey, scored a goal during their 4-0 win against Florida Kraze in the final to help his team win the Cup. He received his winners’ medal alongside his teammates, including Benjamín, 10.
The pair will have to go quite a way to equal their father’s exploits, who won a Champions League title and four LaLiga titles among a host of other trophies while starring together at Barcelona. They were reunited in Miami when Suarez joined the club in December.
