Mateo, a young player on Inter Miami’s youth team, made a lasting impact with his recent goal. Following Lionel Messi’s arrival at the club in July, his sons Thiago and Mateo also joined the academy. During a match against Barcelona’s youth team on November 4, Mateo stood out with his impressive performance. When the opposing team had possession, Mateo quickly intercepted the ball, skillfully weaved past defenders, and scored a fantastic goal with his right foot. Despite having a different dominant foot than his father, Messi, Mateo’s dribbling and finishing abilities drew comparisons to the legendary player.

Only a short time after it was uploaded, the video quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of views. One viewer remarked, “I just witnessed a ‘Little Mess’ in the making. Hopefully, this boy will take after his father in the future.”

During a September interview, Messi revealed that his three kids are all huge fans of football. Sending his older sons to Inter Miami’s Academy shows his dedication to fostering their skills. Despite this, Messi emphasized that he doesn’t pressure his children into pursuing a career in the sport. As a World Cup champion, he believes in letting Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro (who is 5 years old) follow their own paths.

It is known that Messi’s son Mateo has a great love for the game of football.

Mateo made a surprise appearance on stage during Messi’s Golden Ball award ceremony on October 31. With the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo coming to an end, fans are eagerly looking forward to seeing their sons shine in the future. Ronaldo Jr, the 13-year-old eldest son of Cristiano Ronaldo, has been showcasing his talents in various youth competitions after training at the academies of Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United. Currently, he is part of the U13 Al Nassr team and recently scored two goals in a 4-1 victory for his team.
