Barcelona wonderkid scores goal Messi would be proud of (video)

The kid's a bit good...

Ben Kenyon

You could be forgiven for thinking this kid was one of Barcelona’s megastars.

His beautiful touch, the magical close control and then the vision to execute a sublime finish is reminiscent of Lionel Messi at his best.

But this youngster is just 12 years old.

Mamadou Saidou notched the sensational goal against Real Betis U12s to send Barca through to the semi-finals of La Liga Promises 2015.

We can safely say we will be hearing this name again in the future.

Anyone fancy taking these kids on at five-a-side? No?
