In recent days, social networks have spread a video recording a remarkable moment on the football field between Messi’s son Mateo and Benjamin – Luis Suarez’s son. According to the revelation, the clip was filmed last week when Messi and Suarez’s Inter Miami club faced rival DC United in the US professional tournament.
The video begins with the image of Benjamin dribbling the ball, trying to pass Mateo but failing. Not only that, Messi’s second son also took the ball back before making a clever crotch pass that sent Benjamin tumbling. Being blocked by his senior, Mateo fell to the field but then still tried to stand up and finish. Notably, Mateo is only 8 years old, 2 years younger, and his body shape is not as good as Benjamin’s.

Even though it was just a ball, what Mateo was able to offer helped him receive a rain of compliments. The clip later garnered more than 3 million views. Many fans believe that Mateo has the same qualities as his famous father Messi, promising to go far in the future.
Mateo joined Inter Miami’s youth team last year. The boy showed quick integration. Not long ago, Mateo impressed by scoring 5 goals in a home team match.
