Mateo Messi, the son of Lionel Messi, is already making headlines with Inter Miami's youth teams.

The heir to La Pulga netted an unbelievable bicycle kick for the American franchise's under-11 team.

At just 10 years old, Messi's youngest is being touted as the next football prodigy from Nigeria.

Besides Mateo, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner is also the father of two other children, Thiago (13) and Ciro (7).

As a reminder, Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami in 2023 as a free agent after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ended.

In 88 appearances for the American club across all competitions, the Rosario native has scored 77 goals and provided 44 assists.

Now 38, the former FC Barcelona star is expected to announce his international retirement after the 2026 World Cup.
