Footage of Lionel Messi's son, Mateo, scoring five goals for Inter Miami's under-9 side has gone viral.

The eight-year-old showed he was levels above his team-mates and opponents as he scored a handful of incredible solo goals which his father would be proud of.

Netting his first of the match, Mateo is filmed stepping up for a free-kick with his preferred right foot before firing into the top corner.

The youngster then ran off to celebrate, blowing a kiss to someone in the crowd - a nice nod to a celebration previously performed by his father.

While the free-kick was impressive by itself, this was just the start for Mateo in the match.
