Messi’s 9-year-old son surprised everyone when he wore dress pants and leather shoes when taking pictures with his brothers.

On social media, fans shared a photo of the three brothers Thiago, Mateo and Ciro Messi with their arms around each other next to a Christmas tree.

What caught the attention of fans was Mateo’s outfit. While Thiago and Ciro wore age-appropriate clothes, Messi’s second son wore a shirt, trousers, and even a belt and black leather shoes. In this outfit, Mateo was said to be more mature than a 9-year-old boy.

“Mateo is so interesting,” commented one fan. “He has a strong personality, hopefully he will become a world football star in the future,” commented a second person. “Messi’s children are so cute,” exclaimed another fan.

Along with Thiago, Mateo Messi also showed his natural talent for playing football early on. Messi’s second son once caused a stir on social media when he scored 5 goals in a match for the Inter Miami U9 team.

The 9-year-old’s incredible ball control and dribbling ability made him virtually unstoppable for defenders. As a result, Mateo scored five goals in the match, including a stunning free kick. What’s more, he reminded Messi of his famous dad by raising his arms and blowing kisses to the crowd.

While his father and brother have calm personalities, Mateo is known for his mischievous antics and is not afraid to show humorous expressions in front of the camera lens.

Mateo is currently a member of the Inter Miami Academy, where he plays in children’s and youth leagues. “Like his father, he wears the number 10 jersey with an unmistakable running style that is likened to a childhood version of Messi,” Marca reported.
