That’s a better bicycle kick than his father has scored in his entire career! Messi scores some amazing goals, but bicycle kicks aren’t his specialty.
Mateo has mastered the skill move at just eight years old. The Argentine youngster has a long way to go, but some of his highlights look like his father’s moves.

Mateo is one of three sons that Lionel and his wife Antonella have. Mateo, 8, and Thiago, 11, both play for Inter Miami’s youth squads. Their third son Ciro is 5.
We’ll be checking back in 10 years to see if the boys are following in the footsteps of their legendary father.
