Barcelona: Football superstar Lionel Messi's son, Mateo, is a chip off the old block. The little guy pulled off some pure football tricks like his father and the Internet cannot stop swooning over them. Messi's wife Antonela Roccuzzo shared a video on Instagram which showed Mateo taking a penalty and celebrating like the FC Barcelona superstar. "Happy Birthday my love.

Messi, meanwhile, is in doubt for tomorrow's Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund as he has yet to recover from the calf injury he picked up in August, coach Ernesto Valverde said.
