Messi’s 9-year-old son surprised everyone by wearing casual pants and leather shoes while taking pictures with his siblings.
On social media, fans shared an image of the three brothers Thiago, Mateo and Ciro Messi holding each other’s shoulders next to a Christmas tree.
What caught the fans’ attention was Mateo’s outfit. While Thiago and Ciro were dressed in age-appropriate clothes, Messi’s two brothers wore black t-shirts, pants, and even belts and leather shoes. With this outfit, Mateo is considered older than a 9-year-old.
“Mateo is very interesting,” commented one fan. “The boy has quite a strong personality, hopefully in the future he will become a world football star,” commented the second person. “Messi’s kids are so cute,” admired another fan.
In addition to Thiago, Mateo Messi also showed his natural talent for playing football early on. Messi’s second son caused a stir on social media when he conceded five goals in a match for Inter Miami’s U9 team.
The 9-year-old has incredible ball control and dribbling skills that make defenders virtually unstoppable. As a result, Mateo scored 5 goals in the match, including a beautiful direct free-kick. It is worth mentioning that the boy reminded Messi when he raised his arms high and blew a kiss to the crowd exactly in the style of his famous father.
While his father and brother have calm personalities, Mateo is famous for his mischievous moments and does not hesitate to show humorous expressions in front of the camera lens.
Mateo is currently a member of the Inter Miami Academy, where he competes in youth and children’s tournaments. “Just like his father, the boy wears the number 10 jersey with an unmistakable running style that resembles the child version of Messi,” Marca commented.
