Lionel Messi’s little boy, Mateo, is definitely taking after his father as he showcased remarkable football abilities right in their own backyard. At a tender age of four, Mateo has already established that he possesses some of his father’s exceptional talents.

It seems that Messi’s preschool-aged son, Mateo, has inherited his father’s talent for scoring goals. In a newly released video, we witness the young boy effortlessly kicking the ball into the upper corner of the net from quite a distance. After scoring, Mateo joyfully sprints across the mini football pitch in Messi’s backyard in Spain, delivering a remarkably accurate finish. It’s evident that Mateo has been closely observing his father’s technique, as he celebrates his triumph just as Messi would.

In a delightful display of celebration, Messi Jr. demonstrates his unique mannerisms after scoring a goal. With both hands pressed against his lips, he lifts them up in the air, a gesture of triumph and reverence. Engaging directly with the camera, he signals for quiet by placing his finger to his lips. His second goal showcases striking parallels to his father, Messi, as he gracefully maneuvers the ball from the halfway line and confidently aims for the bottom corner of the net. The dramatic fall to the ground follows, akin to being tackled, grasping his face with intensity. While Messi Jr. undoubtedly inherits his father’s skills, astute fans will observe his divergence – excelling predominantly with his right foot.

Mateo imitated his father’s gesture of putting his finger to his lips, possibly inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo, a renowned athlete. Ronaldo had proposed the idea of having a meal together with Messi, his long-standing rival, and the Argentine footballer responded affably. Messi indicated that he had no issue with the suggestion and was receptive to the concept.

I’ve constantly made it clear that I have no issues with him whatsoever. While we haven’t had the chance to share a dressing room, I often run into him at award ceremonies and there’s never been any problem between us. Whether or not we’ll have a dinner together remains uncertain since it relies on our paths crossing. We both have our own separate lives and obligations. Nevertheless, if I were invited, I would definitely accept the invitation.

Maybe it’s about that time when Mateo and Ronaldo’s young lad, Cristiano Jr, teams up with his doting fathers for an enjoyable backyard game of two-on-two, creating a delightful conclusion to their evening’s amusement.
