While Toronto FC prepared for its game Wednesday at the Philadelphia Union, Italian star Lorenzo Insigne was an ocean away attending the birth of son Mattia.

Wife Genoveffa (Jenny) Darone-Insigne had the baby in Naples, the family’s longtime home before making the move to Toronto and Major League Soccer in June 2022.

Insigne released a photo on social media, showing a blue-swaddled baby holding an adult finger.
