The 36-year-old forward has three sons Ciro, Mateo and Thiago. They had made the most number of summer vacations in the US as they watch blockbuster movies. Messi enjoys Marvel superhero films at night with his family. The idea of doing a Marvel-inspired celebration came from this. Messi does this celebration only in home games when his sons come to cheer his father from the stands.
Lionel Messi spoke to the reporters and explained his celebrations as to why they are now part of a publicity stunt, “My three sons are still on vacation, have not started school yet, so every night we watch Marvel superhero movies. They came up with the idea and asked that whenever I have a game and score a goal, I do a Marvel superhero celebration. That’s how it started, and we continued that ritual.
The Inter Miami forward also added, “Each time we watched a new movie, we would practice a goal celebration. But I only do them for home games, when the kids are here, near me, so we can share those moments. When I see them in the stands, that is when I do them.”
Lionel Messi ‘not interested’ in winning Ballon d’Ors anymore
Lionel Messi introduced the Marvel superhero celebration during the home game against Atlanta United. Instead of doing a “hold my beer” gesture towards David Beckham, he stretched his arm out as Thor does when beckoning his hammer. He crossed his arms over his chest to represent the iconic character of Black Panther against Orlando City. In the meeting with Charlotte FC, He shot webs from his wrist in Spider-Man style.
His celebrations are a tribute to famous Marvel characters. Now, Messi had been offering a nod to these characters due to a commercial partnership between that film franchise and MLS. Meanwhile, the Argentine is ready to make the MLS debut which is slightly delayed. Lionel Messi will now eye silverware when his side will face Nashville this weekend in the final of the Leagues Cup.
