Thiago: Messi’s Son Causes Massive Stir Online With Insane Goalkeeping Skills in Viral Video

• Lionel Messi's first son, Thiago, has set tongues wagging on social media
• Thiago wants to be the GOAT as a goalkeeper, not an outfield player like his famous dad
• Meanwhile, Lionel Messi will be in action on Saturday when PSG host Toulouse at the Parc des Princes

Lionel Messi's legacy in football as arguably the greatest footballer to have ever graced the sport is set to be carried on by his offspring.

The Paris Saint-Germain superstar, who accomplished his lifelong ambition of winning the World Cup, is nearing the end of what has been an amazing career.

Hence it is only natural he passes his baton to one, or all, of his three sons - Thiago, Matteo and Ciro.

But it appears one of Messi's sons will swap his dad's magical and spellbinding artistry with his foot for a spot in between the sticks, shutting out opponents.

Thiago, Lionel Messi's eldest son, who had earlier declared his intentions of becoming the greatest goalkeeper in football has begun his journey in earnest.

"When I grow up, I would like to be a goalkeeper and become the best in the world just like Ter Stegen" he said as quoted by BarcaWorldwide.

The 10-year-old set social media ablaze with his incredible goalkeeping skills in a footage shared on Instagram by his dad.

In the video, seen by Sports Brief, Thiago showed great reflexes by diving accurately to make saves from what seems to be his dad.

How did social media react?

@ThatMessiGuy lightheartedly wrote:

"Emi Martinez your position in the National (Argentina) team is in danger."

@gideon_anyanwu predicted:

"He's going to be a very good goalkeeper in the future his reflex is good."
