7 year old kid named Leonel Messi

His name is Leonel Messi, or actually Leonel Messi Condori Flores. He is Peruvian and has only seven years. He almost shares the same name as his idol, Lionel Messi, and is sure to see him in Lima the 11th of September, the next qualifiers game between Argentines and Peruvians.

"At home they call me Leonel and at school Messi. Every time I hear his name on the TV I get excited", he told Peru's Depor.

He doesn't miss a single game by Leo and dreams of meeting him. Additionally, he made it very clear that he doesn't like Cristiano Ronaldo, he plays for Cantolao's academy and is a fan of Sporting Cristal. His parents have already announced that their next child will be named Neymar.

Their 3rd kid will be Ronaldo.

so they named him that in 2005? decent foresight...

Knowing Messi was going to be a future star back in 2005

But honestly did they actually name him that back in 2005 or did they change his name?

The best part is that the next kid will be named Neymar.

He won't even be called Neymar in a football match if we are still going by surnames lol.
