There’s no denying the fact that Mateo Messi is a hardcore Argentina fan.

Lionel Messi’s son watched La Albiceleste capture the World Cup title in Qatar in 2022.

It isn’t a complete surprise, then, to see the younger Messi show some love to one of the key players of that championship-winning squad in a now-viral video.

In the clip, Mateo was asked to identify a player whose name starts with the letter F. He gathered his thoughts for a few seconds before answering Enzo Fernandez.

The answer drew plenty of cheers from his teammates at the Inter Miami Academy.

Lionel Messi has previously talked about Mateo's love for the Argentina national team. He told reporters following their win over Mexico in the 2022 FIFA World Cup that his son Mateo left the stadium crying after their loss to Saudi Arabia, per The Mirror.

He further explained his son's anguish, saying, "My family suffers the same as all Argentines."

Messi and Fernandez helped ease Mateo's concerns in the game against Mexico, scoring the goals in their 2-0 win. That started a six-game unbeaten run, which culminated with Argentina winning their third World Cup title.
