Mateo Messi has scored a stunning wondergoal that would make even his father Lionel Messi proud. The 6-year old showed shades of his father with his footwork and breathtaking finishing.
For the past decade and a half, Messi has entertained the world with his displays on the football pitch. Many consider the Argentina superstar as the greatest player to have ever played the game and if the recent clip of Mateo’s goal is anything to go by, one can say that the world can witness another Messi leaving it in awe with his skills.
Mateo (born in 2015) and his elder brother Thiago (born 2012) are currently enrolled at Paris Saint-Germain’s academy. Both of them left the FC Barcelona academy last year after their father’s famous switch to the French club.
Talking about Mateo’s goal, the clip of the same has gone viral on social media. Fans are going gaga over the goal and have been busy heaping praise on Mateo. The clip starts with Mateo running past one opposition player with a fine piece of skill before dribble through two players.
With two more players in front of him and one of his teammates waiting for a pass, Mateo makes space for himself before unleashing an unstoppable shot into the top left-corner. Just like his father, Mateo did it all with his left foot, making the fans go wild on social media.

Lionel Messi eyes a good season with PSG:
Lionel Messi will be eyeing a good season with PSG after a forgettable maiden season with the French giants. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner could not really deliver as per expectations in the French capital.
Messi could score only 6 goals while providing 14 assists as PSG lifted the league title. He recently revealed how badly he struggled with COVID-19 when he contracted the disease earlier this year. He revealed that he was having respiratory issues long after he had started to test negative.
“It left me with after-effects. It left me with after-effects in my lungs. I came back and it was like a month and a half without even being able to run because my lungs were affected,” Messi said.
“I came back before I should have, and it got worse because I went too fast and it ended up setting me back.
“But I couldn’t take it anymore, I wanted to run, to train. I wanted to get going. And in the end, it got worse,” he added.
