Watch: Messi’s son Ciro replicates his father’s goal, scores incredible free-kick for Inter Miami’s Under-8s

Ciro is the youngest of Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo's three sons and was born in 2018, joining his elder brothers.

His older brothers, Thiago, 13, and Mateo, 10, also share a passion for the sport and have previously played for the youth academies of their father's former clubs, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

The youngest brother is now continuing the tradition of playing football, just like his father and older siblings.

A video of seven-year-old Ciro has gone viral, showing him expertly bending a free kick into the top corner from a tight angle on the left side of the pitch.

The impressive strike left fans amazed, with many taking to social media to praise the young player's potential and the uncanny resemblance to his father's signature set-piece technique.

The reaction online was swift, with one user commenting, "No DNA test required." Another added, "Like father, like son."

The display of skill at such a young age has sparked excitement about the future. "That’s incredible to see Ciro already bending the ball like his dad," one fan wrote. 

"Shows real potential at such a young age." Another supporter noted the key difference, joking, "Football isn’t ready for a right-footed Messi."

While Lionel Messi continues to excel in the MLS for David Beckham's club, it appears his talent is being passed down to the next generation.
