Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez's sons out of youth tournament for Inter Miami as Barcelona thump Herons

The Inter Miami's U-12 team that sports both Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez' sons fell to FC Barcelona in a La Liga youth tournament Friday in Florida.

In the La Liga Futures event, the Catalan club scored four times in 24 minutes to eliminate the Herons, and Thiago Messi and Benjamin Suarez.

The Herons' tournament on Friday started strong, as they drew group winners Real Sociedad 0-0. However, to advance, they needed to concede less than two goals against Barcelona.

The event, held at ESPN's Wide World of Sports in Orlando, saw the South Florida side exit early unexpectedly. The competition itself had 20 U12 teams from around the world travel to the complex to compete, handing the young footballers a platform to compete on.

"The promotion of grassroots football and the reinforcement of football's positive values are the initiative's two main objectives. Every year, the world's best youth clubs all come together for the tournament," LaLiga said in a news release.

The two young footballers will watch their famous fathers play in Copa America this June - Messi, with Argentina, and Suarez with Uruguay.
