The dramatic 2022 World Cup final between Argentina and France has brought fans around the world moments of sublimation with football.
Everything seemed to be broken after the penalty shootout when Messi and his teammates officially touched the championship trophy after 36 years of waiting.
After the match, the whole world seemed to focus on Messi as well as his family. In particular, the photo that captures the moment when one of Messi’s three sons “faints” when he sees his father kick the opponent’s net, bringing glory to the Argentina team, has become extremely viral on social networks.
It is known that all three boys of the Messi family do not idolize their father, especially Mateo Messi, the boy who is called by everyone with the nickname “Captain of the anti-Messi team”.
Mateo was born on September 11, 2015 in Barcelona, Spain – where Lionel Messi joined the Catalan team (Barcelona). The boy is Messi’s second son, with older brother Thiago Messi (2012) and younger brother Ciro Messi (2018).
Messi himself once helplessly shared his son’s defense on the sports channel TyC Sports: “Thiago and Mateo are very different. Thiago is a special talent and very obedient. The other child is the complete opposite.
A real trouble.” However, the striker wearing the number 10 shirt revealed that the boy has a personality, more like himself and is also called a “copy” of Messi.
The clever boy also teased his father many times when Messi’s team was defeated. In 2019, once Mateo and his brother and father went to watch a match between Real Betis and Barcelona, Mateo shouted “in” and raised his hands to show his excitement after seeing his father’s team get kicked in the net. on the Nou Camp field.
The Argentine striker said: “When playing football with my father, Mateo often teases me, ‘You are a Liverpool player, the football team beat you. I am Liverpool and you are Barcelona’.
Mateo is not well aware of everything. It’s like when I lost to Valencia, he would say Valencia won. Or when we watch TV, he celebrates Real Madrid’s goal,” Messi was quoted as saying by Hola newspaper.
