Video: Ireland's mini-Messi wows judges on live German talent show

Dublin youngster Ciaran Duffy has already become something of a celebrity on these shores but he is now attempting to conquer Europe, and the early signs are promising. The 12-year-old football freestyler known as Mini Messi won a coveted place on Superkids, a popular German talent show for children aged from four to 14.
