Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the most imposing personalities in modern soccer, has once again made headlines away from the pitch. This time, the former Swedish striker caught the attention for a comment that quickly went viral on social media and involved the Messi family.

Special recognition for Ciro Messi at Inter Miami
Lionel Messi’s youngest son recently stood out in a youth tournament held in Miami. At just seven years of age, the young footballer competes in the U8 category of his father’s team and was the top scorer of the tournament.
The award was presented by none other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who shared the moment with the young talent and did not hesitate to praise him publicly. The Swede highlighted the child’s potential and was delighted to be the one to give him the individual recognition.
