Messi’s Transition to Superhero-like Gestures
Recently, after joining Inter Miami (USA), Messi has been celebrating his goals in a different manner. Specifically, he has started incorporating signature hand gestures from characters like Thor, Black Panther, and most recently, Spider-Man. This was evident in the victory against Charlotte, where Inter Miami won 4-0, securing a spot in the League Cup (MLS) semifinals – iconic superheroes from the Marvel universe.
This revelation was confirmed by Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, through a social media post. Messi’s three sons are avid fans of superhero movies, and his use of superhero-inspired gestures after scoring goals is a way to bring excitement to his children when they watch him play.
When deciding to join Inter Miami, Messi stated, “I am at a point where I want to step away from the intense spotlight, to think more about my family. I want to enjoy time with my family. If it was just about money, I would have chosen to go to Saudi Arabia or some other place, where I would earn a lot more.”
The city of Miami is no stranger to the Messi family; they spent their summer here in 2021. Miami is a hotspot for wealthy individuals in the US and from various other countries seeking real estate investments. It’s also the city with the largest Latin American community in the United States, with more than half of foreign property owners in Miami coming from the Latin American region.
Sports analysts note that Messi’s decision sets him apart from players like Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema, who moved to play in Saudi Arabia. Messi’s focus is on his long-term future and that of his family.
By joining Inter Miami, Messi can nurture and raise his three sons (aged 5 to 11) in a beautiful coastal city. The Messi family can enjoy a luxurious, serene, and private lifestyle – qualities highly valued in Miami’s upscale neighborhoods.
With Inter Miami, Messi will have more “breathing room” in his playing years, dedicating more time to his family. He and his loved ones will experience a life that is both luxurious and private in a beautiful city.
During this period, Messi may gradually realize his dream of owning a football club in the United States. His decision to join Inter Miami reflects the choices he made for the best interests of himself and his family. His altered goal celebrations after joining Inter Miami further underscore the significant role his family plays in the life of this legendary player wearing the number 10 jersey.
The Gesture of Pointing to the Sky by Messi
Historically, after scoring a goal, Messi often points to the sky. His fans jokingly say that this gesture signifies that “only the sky is Messi’s limit.” In reality, the captain of the Argentine national team has a specific reason behind this skyward gesture.
He once explained that this gesture is a tribute to his late grandmother, Celia Olivera Cuccittini, who passed away when he was 11 years old.
