Let p ≥ 7 be a prime number and f a normalized eigen-newform with good reduction at p such that its p-th Fourier coefficient vanishes. We construct a rank-two Euler system attached to the p-adic realization of the symmetric square motive of f . Furthermore, we show that the non-triviality is guaranteed by the non-vanishing of the leading term of the relevant L-value and the non-vanishing of a certain p-adic period modulo p.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 11R23 (primary); 11F11, 11R20 (secondary) .
