​Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has admitted that his eldest son Thiago, pretends to be Liverpool when they play together at home ever since Barça's 4-0 pummelling at Anfield in the Champions League semi-final last month.

Barcelona held a commanding 3-0 aggregate lead at the halfway stage of the tie after Messi himself played a starring role in the first leg at Camp Nou.

But a rampant Liverpool blitzed their illustrious opponents in the return game, with two goals each from Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum turning the semi-final on its head.

But rather than put the humiliating defeat behind him, Messi is now reminded about when he goes home because his six-year-old son wants to be Liverpool when they play together at home.

"We played at home, and last time, we kicked it about, he would tell me, 'I'm Liverpool , who beat you. You are Barça, and I'm Liverpool.'" Messi is ​reported to have told Argentine broadcaster TyC Sports as he prepares for the Copa America later this month.

It seems Thiago is already quite the antagonist in the Messi household, with the Barcelona superstar also revealing that his eldest also cheers on Real Madrid too.

Messi added: "They'll be watching it on TV and he'll cheer when Real Madrid score to upset his brother. He acts like he's a Madrid fan!"

Born in November 2012, Thiago will turn seven years of age later this year. Messi also has two other sons with wife Antonella Roccuzzo, Mateo, born in 2015, and Ciro, born in 2018.

Just this week, Messi also spoke about his sons' football development, with Thiago and Mateo playing at the Barça academy alongside Luis Suarez's son, Benja.

"Thiago plays in the club's academy. A lot of kids play there. They were playing in a special group for children of the club's employees, and we can take them there too," the 31-year-old said.

"Thiago has been going for two years now. For Mateo, it was his first year, and he enjoyed it a lot. I love to go with them. They train on Monday's and Thursdays. And Luis has a son who's the same age as Thiago named Benja, and they train together."

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
