Despite Goal Against $625,000,000 Rivals, Lionel Messi Ditched for $975,000-Rated Inter Miami Teammate

Just moments ago, Inter Miami won their fifth game in a row. They’re now onto the semifinal and are interestingly fancied to win the entire competition. As usual, Lionel Messi was on the scoresheet again but just with one goal compared to his braces in other games. But this time something different has happened. After the game, the Leagues Cup decided to ditch the Argentine soccer legend for his teammate.

Messi continues to be in red-hot form. Successfully, he has managed to raise the gameplay of his teammates too. All of a sudden, Inter Miami is a much better side to watch now. From domination to nail-biting comebacks, the fanbase has witnessed it all in such a short span of time. The soccer veteran has interestingly also been following a common theme behind his celebrations that has garnered everyone’s attention.

Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami teammate is preferred over him this time!

Inter Miami just won their last game against Charlotte FC with a 4-0 scoreline. Lionel Messi hit the final nail in the coffin by scoring his team’s fourth goal. While they’re onto the semifinal, something interesting happened right after the game. Ever since the World Cup winner arrived in the US, he’s won the ‘Player of the Match’ award in every Leagues Cup game. But not anymore!

This time, Messi’s $975k rich teammate who also scored a goal in the last game lifted the award. It was none other than Robert Taylor. The winger has been one of the players who has seemingly benefitted from the Argentine soccer legend’s arrival the most. Along with Messi, he cannot stop scoring too! In fact, they’re both in red-hot form. Despite scoring a goal each, Taylor lifted the ‘POTM’ award this time.

From the looks of it, Beckham‘s club dominated possession for most of the game against the $625 million rich club. It was a better performance compared to the one against Dallas. The Miami-based club was defensively sound and much more stable during this time. With the arrival of Sergio Busquets and Jordi, their team will likely improve in all three aspects of the game i.e., attack, midfield, and defense.

Lionel Messi and his fascination for Marvel-themed celebrations

Undoubtedly, Messi has been entertaining millions of eyes around the world with his magical gameplay for years. While he still continues to do the same, he’s made a slight addition. His goal celebrations have suddenly become a talking point now too. Since his Inter Miami debut, the World Cup winner has unexpectedly pulled off several poses and gestures from the Marvel universe in different games.

He started off with Thor, then he did the iconic Black Panther pose. Most recently, he did the Spiderman web gesture with both his hands. A few days ago, a source revealed that he does it for his children as they have a fascination for those Marvel superheroes. For sure, there’s a lot more to come, in terms of goals, celebrations, and maybe even some silverware for Inter Miami with the World Cup winner at the helm.
