Lionel Messi, the Argentine football superstar, has been a prolific goal-scorer throughout his career, netting over 600 goals for both club and country.
As one of the most decorated players in modern football, Messi has won numerous accolades, including five Ballon d'Or awards and six UEFA Golden Boots.
Recently, Messi's 4-year-old son Mateo has been making headlines for his impressive football skills, which have drawn comparisons to his father's playing style.
According to reports, Mateo has been taking lessons from top-class stars, including Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently suggested that the two should have dinner together.
Messi has responded positively to the invitation, saying, "Yes, I don’t have any problem with that. I’ve always said that I don’t have any issue with him. We might not be friends because we’ve never shared a dressing room together but I always see him at award shows and there’s no problem."
Perhaps Mateo and Ronaldo's son Cristiano Jr could join their fathers in a quick game of two-on-two in the garden to round off the evening's entertainment.
