The wife of Argentine footballer Lionel Messi, who recently transferred to Inter Miami, Antonela, revealed the secret behind her husband's new celebration. During his second match with his new team against Atlanta last Wednesday, Messi scored two goals in the first half and assisted a goal in the second half, leading his team to a decisive 4-0 victory, advancing to the knockout stage of the American-Mexican League Cup.
Messi celebrated one of his goals against Atlanta in a special way by stopping, opening his hand as if holding something imaginary, and looking with a smile towards his family and children in the stands, as well as to Inter Miami owner, Englishman David Beckham.
After this new celebration of Messi went viral on social media, fans questioned the reason behind it. Antonela shared the reason for this celebration through her official Instagram account via a "Story." She posted a picture of Messi’s celebration and included the logo of "Thor," one of the superhero characters in American cinema. Spanish newspaper "AS" reported on Friday that this celebration was directed toward Messi's son Thiago, who loves the character "Thor" very much, and it was a gesture from Messi after seeing his children's ecstatic joy at the goal.
