On October 17, 2019, Lionel Messi was presented with his sixth Golden Shoe award, a prestigious honor that recognizes the top league scorer across Europe's top tiers.
What made this moment even more special was the presence of his two sons, Matteo and Thiago, who were clearly awed by the glistening award.
Matteo, in particular, was overly anxious and stared at the Golden Shoe with admiration throughout the presentation.
Once he handed the award over to his father, Matteo couldn't resist licking his lips in admiration, sparking hilarious reactions from football fans who witnessed the cute incident.
With this latest win, Messi has cemented his status as the only active player with six Golden Shoes, surpassing his rival Cristiano Ronaldo's five wins.
Interestingly, Messi has been the one to clinch the award in the past three seasons, with team mate Luis Suarez being the previous winner of the award as far back as the 2015/2016 season.
