The recent viral video of Mateo Messi scoring a stunning goal has sparked a flurry of reactions on Facebook. Fans were ecstatic watching Lionel Messi’s son showcase his skills on the football field, with many drawing comparisons between Mateo and his famous father.
Lionel Messi’s performances over the past decade and a half have entertained the world, and if Mateo’s recent goal is any indication, we may witness another Messi who leaves everyone in awe with his abilities.
Mateo, born in 2015, and his older brother Thiago, born in 2012, both attend the Paris Saint-Germain academy. Following their father’s move to the French club, they left the FC Barcelona academy last year.
Regarding Mateo’s goal, a video of it has gone viral on social media, and fans have been lavish in their praise for him. The clip shows Mateo running past one opposing player with a skillful move before dribbling through two more.
He creates space for himself in front of two additional players and one of his teammates, waiting for a pass, before unleashing an unstoppable shot into the top left corner. Mateo, just like his father, accomplishes everything with his left foot, which has intrigued social media users.
The video quickly gained traction and fans couldn’t help but marvel at it. While some fans started comparing him to Cristiano Ronaldo’s son, others urged their clubs, especially Barcelona fans, to sign the promising young footballer.
One fan even noticed Messi’s traits in his son and stated that there was no need for a DNA test, emphasizing the striking resemblance between them.
The online community’s enthusiastic response to Mateo Messi’s goal highlights the excitement surrounding his development as a young football talent.
As he continues to grow and refine his skills, football fans eagerly await the opportunity to witness his progress and potentially see him follow in his father’s footsteps.
