The young son of Lionel Messi has recently demonstrated that he has inherited his father’s football skills. At the tender age of four, Mateo impressed onlookers with an impressive display of talent in his own backyard. It seems that the apple truly doesn’t fall far from the tree in this talented family!

The footage reveals that Mateo, Lionel Messi’s four-year-old son, is also a skilled football player. In the video, he can be seen scoring a goal from a distance with great accuracy and then following up with a clinical finish after making a darting run. The setting appears to be in Messi’s backyard in Spain, where he has a small football pitch. Mateo has clearly been observing his father, as he celebrates in a similar manner to Messi after scoring his first goal.

The son of Messi, Mateo, celebrated his goal by kissing both hands and raising them up in the air. He then quickly headed towards the camera and put his finger to his lips as if silencing someone. His second goal was even more impressive, reminiscent of his father’s playing style, as he dribbled the ball from the half-way line before shooting low into the corner. He then fell to the ground, pretending as if he had been hit with a late tackle. However, one noticeable difference between Messi and his son is that Mateo is predominantly right-footed. Observant fans will surely catch this distinction.

Mateo mimicked his father by putting his finger on his lips, just like Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also known for the move. It is possible that Mateo is even learning from Ronaldo, who is a world-class talent and long-time rival of Lionel Messi. Ronaldo recently proposed that he and Messi should have dinner together, and Messi responded positively to the idea. When asked about it, Messi said that he has no problem with it.

From my perspective, I have never had any problem with him. Although we have not had the opportunity to share a dressing room together, we have seen each other at various award shows and there has never been any issue between us.
As for whether we will have dinner together, it remains uncertain as our paths may not cross due to our individual commitments and lifestyles. However, if an invitation were to be extended, I would gladly accept it.

Perhaps it would be fun for Mateo and Ronaldo’s son, Cristiano Jr, to join their dads in a friendly two-on-two game in the backyard as a way to wrap up the evening’s entertainment.
