Mateo Messi, the 8-year-old son of soccer legend Liopel Messi, is taking the world by storm with his impressive soccer skills.

Mateo Messi scored five goals in a single match for the Miami Heat’s youth team, and a video of his performance quickly went viral on social media.

Exceptional football skill

In the video, Mateo displays incredible ball control and dribbling skills, leaving defenders in his wake and drawing comparisons to his legendary father. He scored five goals, including a stunning free kick.

Mateo, who wears the iconic March 10 jersey, like his father, has begun to make a name for himself representing the Miami Academy in youth tournaments across the United States. This isn’t the first time one of Messi’s players has impressed on the soccer field. His oldest player, 11-year-old Thiago, recently captained Miami’s U-12 team to victory in the Easter International Cup earlier this month.

A unique personality

While his father and brother are known for their calm demeanor, Mateo is known for his playful attitude and apologetic expression of emotions in front of the media.

In 2022, Mateo caught the attention of many when his mother scolded him twice for jumping out of seats and throwing lollipops into the FA Cup stands during the World Cup. He also grimaced when his father ignored him during Argentina’s World Cup victory celebrations.

A promising future

With his history and passion for football, Mateo is expected to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a football star in the future.

Many believe Mateo has the potential to become one of the best players in the world.
