After Thor and Black Panther Celebrations, Reason Behind Lionel Messi’s Marvel Tribute at Inter Miami Revealed

Goes without saying, Lionel Messi playing for Inter Miami has already become a super hit. Prior to his arrival, the club was on a ten-game winless streak. And now they’ve won four out of four games. The Argentine soccer legend is quite the entertainer too. After scoring goals, he has surprisingly pulled off Thor and Black Panther celebrations. Recently, the reason behind doing them has come to the forefront.

The World Cup winner has suddenly made soccer in America one of its most popular and watched sports. He has scored at least a goal in every game he’s played entertaining and garnering millions of eyes.

What’s the secret behind Lionel Messi’s Marvel tribute?

In his first game itself, Messi brought the roof down after banging in a last-minute screamer of a free-kick to win the game. And that was just the beginning of something special. He then scored a brace in all of his next games. While he’s a complete team man, he doesn’t shy away from celebrating his goals along with his teammates. He also did a few solo celebrations too, and he went a bit creative with those.

He took inspiration from the Marvel universe for his celebrations. Messi did Thor and Black Panther’s iconic move in back-to-back games. The World Cup winner used to turn toward his family while doing it. The fans used to keep wondering the reason behind the same. Had the Argentine soccer legend started watching Marvel? Or was he already a fan? There were many questions.

Just hours ago, the fanbase received an answer. Argentine TV journalist Gaston Edul claims, “The Thor and Black Panther celebrations by Messi are for his family and his sons, because they like those Marvel movies“. Even at this stature, he doesn’t mind goofing around and getting a laugh from his young sons. Honestly, that speaks a lot about him as a person off the pitch.

Lionel Messi didn’t make the move alone to Inter Miami. Along with him, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba have tagged along too. And moments of their brilliance on the pitch can already be seen. More than a month ago, nobody would have considered the possibility of Inter Miami winning a trophy this season. Suddenly, the team can potentially win two competitions now, and guess what they’re favorites!

The US Open Cup and the Leagues Cup are the two possibilities. But that does not change their reality in the MLS. It has been a dreadful season for them. Currently, last in the MLS standings, Inter Miami still has a lot more groundwork to complete with Messi at the helm. His arrival would also likely attract other big and renowned names to play soccer in America.
