Lionel Messi Transforms Inter Miami with Marvel-Inspired Celebration, Sends Team to Leagues Cup Final
Lionel Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami has brought a wave of excitement to the club and its supporters. The Argentine superstar has wasted no time in making his mark, as he has almost single-handedly transformed the team’s attacking prowess. In a recent revelation, Messi explained the inspiration behind his unique Marvel-inspired goal celebrations, showcasing his love for superhero movies.
Since joining Inter Miami as a free agent, the 7-time Ballon d’Or winner has been a dominant force on the field, scoring an impressive nine goals in just six appearances. His remarkable performances have played a pivotal role in propelling Miami to the final of the prestigious Leagues Cup. Fans have flocked to the stadiums in large numbers to witness Messi’s magic in action.
Off the field, Messi spends quality time with his three sons – Ciro, Mateo, and Thiago. During their countless summer vacations in the US, the family indulges in watching superhero movies, particularly from the Marvel franchise. It was during these movie nights that Messi’s sons came up with the idea of the Marvel-inspired celebrations. They requested their father to perform superhero poses whenever he scores a goal in a game. Messi embraced this suggestion and turned it into a heartwarming ritual that he exclusively carries out in home games when his sons are present.
In a recent interaction with reporters, Messi shed light on the origins of his celebrations. My three sons are still on vacation and haven’t started school yet, so every night we watch Marvel superhero movies. They came up with the idea and asked me to do a Marvel superhero celebration whenever I score. That’s how it started, and we’ve kept that tradition going.
The Marvel superhero celebration made its debut during a home game against Atlanta United when Messi imitated Thor’s gesture of summoning his hammer. In subsequent matches, he showcased Black Panther’s iconic crossing-arm pose against Orlando City and shot webs from his wrists in true Spider-Man style when facing Charlotte FC. These celebrations pay homage to beloved Marvel characters and have drawn significant attention, partly due to a commercial partnership between MLS and the Marvel franchise.
Fans eagerly anticipate Messi’s MLS debut, which has been slightly postponed. As he gears up to face Nashville in the final of the Leagues Cup this weekend, the Argentine superstar sets his sights on clinching silverware for Inter Miami.
In summary, Lionel Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami has breathed new life into the club. Through his breathtaking performances on the field and his heartfelt Marvel-inspired celebrations, Messi has not only proven himself as an exceptional player but has also brought joy and excitement to fans. As he continues to make his mark in the MLS, the soccer world eagerly awaits what other marvels he has in store for us.
