Mateo Messi, the second son of famous football player Messi, has just caused a stir on social networks with a clip showing off his soccer skills just like his famous father, delighting millions of viewers.

The clip was recorded by viewers of the match between Inter Miami and DC United with a score of 1-0 on May 19 at Chase Stadium and posted on social media. Accordingly, after the match, the sons of Messi and Suarez , who are very close to each other, participated in a small match held at one of the stadium’s goals.

It all started when Benjamin Suarez, the eldest son of striker Suarez, planned to dribble and try to get past his “younger brother” Mateo, before shooting at the goal, which was kept by Thiago Messi (Mateo’s older brother). However, Mateo, who was only 9 years old, immediately showed off his superb football skills by blocking his opponent, stealing the ball and tricking Benjamin with a superb “nut” backheel.

Benjamin fell down because of Mateo’s unexpected “nut-nut” and had to use a “trick” no less than his father to stop Messi’s son, by using his hand to pull his opponent down. Despite being pulled down, Mateo still managed to get up to grab the ball, but his shot missed the goal. 

The dramatic football matches between Messi and Suarez’s sons made the remaining fans at Chase Stadium extremely excited to watch and support enthusiastically, according to Marca (Spain).

Mateo Messi is currently playing for the U.9 team of the Inter Miami Academy, while his brother Thiago Messi and his close friend Benjamin Suarez, who is the same age, are playing for the U.12 team. Messi and Suarez’s sons have both contributed significantly to the achievements of the Inter Miami U.9 and U.12 teams in the 2024 season in youth tournaments in Miami (USA).

As for Messi, the famous player’s eldest son, Thiago, is considered to have the potential to follow in his footsteps, as the boy is increasingly showing maturity in the role of central midfielder. Thiago often plays alongside Benjamin, the eldest son of striker Suarez, and is a good pair both on and off the field, just like his famous fathers have been close for a long time.

“But Messi also has a second son, Mateo, who promises to be a special football talent. The boy is more famous than his “older brothers”, through clips showing off his exquisite juggling skills or scoring 5 goals in a match for the U.9 Inter Miami team. Of course, there is also the recent scene when Mateo “humiliated” Benjamin, which has had millions and millions of views on social networks,” Marca expressed .
