What's the reason behind Lionel Messi's superhero celebrations? Journalist provides reason

Lionel Messi has gotten off to a flying start to life at Inter Miami. The Argentina captain has bagged seven goals and one assist in four games for the American club.

After scoring against Atlanta United in his second game for Miami, Messi performed a Black Panther celebration. He has since performed a Thor celebration, too.

Fans were elated to see their favorite player come with the new celebratory moves. TyC Sport journalist Gaston Edul has reported that those moves were done by Messi, as his family is massive fans of Marvel movies (via Albiceleste Talk):

“The Thor and Black Panther celebrations by Messi are for his family and his sons, because they like those Marvel movies.”

Messi has helped Inter Miami reach the Leagues Cup semifinal, where they take on Charlotte FC on Friday (August 11).
