Lionel Messi has unarguably been one of the best footballers in the world who has been emulated by even the youngest of the prodigies. Not very long ago did we watch Arat Hosseini from Iran emulating footballers like Messi and now here’s another one who has joined the bandwagon. Mishal Abulais from Kerala is seen emulating the six-time Ballon d’Or winner. The video of this child has gone viral on social media and a few netizens have even asked the Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju to get him trained from any of the academies. Six-Year-Old Lionel Messi Fan Arat Hosseini, Showcases Sumptuous Skills in Viral Video.
In the video, Mishal is seen dinning Messi’s Argentina jersey and places the football to take a free-kick. He also places his hand on the hips and settles his hair just like the way Lionel Messi does. Further, he takes an aim at the ring-like structure in the top left and thus is successful in his attempt. In order to celebrate his goal, Mishal is seen sitting on the floor and is seen pointing his fingers towards the sky. Needless to say that the video of this young prodigy has gone viral on social media.

Prior to this, it was Arat Hosseini who had impressed Lionel Messi, Doughlas Costa with his football skills. Even the official page of Barcelona had praised the little kids. For now, we hope to keep our fingers crossed for Mishal Abulais!
