Lionel Messi is someone every single football fan in the world knows about. And it’s pretty safe to say that whether you’re a Barcelona fan or not, Messi is someone you’re very much familiar with.

But the Argentine wizard, as brilliant and unreal as he still may be, is now slowly but surely making the first strides into his 30s and while he’s certainly an immortal in the context of footballing history, he won’t be able to score goals for Barcelona perennially.

One Messi who’s not as popular, however, is one of his sons, Mateo, who just turned four years old the other day.

Young Messi is, fortunately, a fan of football and his mother posted video footage of him scoring some goals in what seemed to be the family’s backyard.

Needless to say, many Barcelona fans were quick to jump to Twitter and gush all over that footage, calling the young kid the “next goat” and even saying he might go on to be “better than Messi” himself.

Of course, many were joking but they will seriously hope young Mateo becomes the next big thing in the future.
