Special recognition for Ciro Messi at Inter Miami
Lionel Messi’s youngest son recently made headlines at a youth tournament in Miami. At just 7 years old, this young footballer played for his father’s team in the U8 category and was the tournament’s top scorer.
The award was presented by none other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who did not hesitate to share moments with the young talent and praise him in public. The Swede emphasized the child’s potential and was delighted that he could give him a personal assessment.
Zlatan’s viral phrase that caused illusions
After the award ceremony, Ibrahimovic released a statement that quickly went viral and was reproduced on social networks: “If you want to see a miniature version of Messi, you have to look at Ciro Messi. I’m happy to give him this award (top scorer). This kid will go far in the future.”
This is not the first time Ciro Messi has attracted attention. Recently, a video of him went viral after he scored a stunning free-kick goal with great technique and personality, despite using his right foot, unlike the left-footed Lionel Messi. For now, everything points to the Messi surname continuing to make waves in the youth ranks, and this time it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was tasked with giving voice to this fantasy.
