Lionel Messi’s New Superhero Celebrations Have Fans Delighted
Lionel Messi has long been known for his incredible goal-scoring skills, but he’s recently added a new dimension to his game: superhero celebrations.
Since joining Inter Miami in 2023, Messi has begun celebrating his goals by striking poses inspired by Marvel characters. His most popular celebration is a recreation of Thor’s signature hammer throw. He’s also been known to do a Black Panther-inspired pose, in which he raises his arms in the air and points his index fingers at the sky.
Messi’s new celebrations have been a hit with fans, who have taken to social media to share their appreciation. Many have commented that they’re a fun and creative way for Messi to express his love of superhero movies.
“Messi is a true fan of Marvel,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “His celebrations are a great way to show that.”
Another fan said that Messi’s celebrations are “a breath of fresh air in the world of football.”
Messi’s celebrations are also a sign of his growing popularity in the United States. Since joining Inter Miami, he’s become a household name in the country, and his celebrations are helping to introduce him to a new audience.
“Messi is a global icon,” one sportscaster said. “His celebrations are just one more way he’s reaching people all over the world.”
It’s unclear how long Messi will continue with his superhero celebrations. However, for now, they’re a fun and entertaining addition to his already impressive repertoire.
