Mateo Messi, the second born son and child of international soccer superstar Lionel Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo, was born on November 9, 2015 in Barcelona, Spain. From a young age, it was evident that Mateo had inherited his father's passion and talent for soccer.
His uncle, Matias, took to Twitter to announce Mateo's arrival into the world, while his mother, Antonella, shared a heartwarming photo of him gripping her finger on Instagram the day after his birth. It was clear that Mateo was destined to follow in his father's footsteps and make a name for himself in the soccer world.
Like his older brother Thiago, Mateo began playing soccer at a young age. By the time he was 7 years old, viral videos of him dribbling around defenders were circulating online, showcasing his natural talent and skill on the field.
Despite being born into a family of soccer royalty, Mateo remained grounded and focused on honing his abilities. His father, Lionel Messi, returned from the US to Spain to be by his side when he was born, showing unwavering support for his son's passion and dreams.
His parents, Lionel and Antonella, have known each other since they were five years old, growing up together in their hometown of Rosario, Argentina. Their love story is one for the ages, and their strong bond serves as a solid foundation for Mateo and his siblings.
Alongside his brothers Thiago and Ciro, Mateo shares a special connection with his family, rooted in love, respect, and a shared passion for the beautiful game. As he continues to grow and develop, Mateo is poised to make a name for himself on the soccer field, carving out his own legacy alongside his famous father.
