The young child’s finesse was on full display as he skillfully scored his second goal.
Mateo’s third goal was a result of his exceptional ball control skills. His ability to control and finish the ball has gained a lot of praise from spectators. Many compare Mateo’s style of play to that of his famous father. Mateo demonstrates a strong work ethic and determination on the field. There was a moment where Mateo fell down but still managed to pass the ball to his teammates.
From a young age, Mateo developed a close relationship with the ball, as his family frequently took him to watch live matches on the field. Messi mentioned that all of his children share a love for football, and he supports them in pursuing their passion for the sport. Both Thiago (11 years old) and Mateo have been training at the Inter Miami Academy, with Mateo being viewed as the more talented of the two brothers.
