Lionel Messi displayed cheeky skill in Inter Miami’s match against Charlotte in the Leagues Cup. The brilliant display by the player has sent the fans into a frenzy.
Lionel Messi made another start in the Leagues Cup for the match against Charlotte. Furthermore, the World Cup winner even scored a goal which sealed the win for Inter Miami. However, it is not his goal that everyone has been talking about.
Messi’s cheeky move on the ball made two of his opponent players crash against each other. The two Charlotte players were so focused on tracking the ball that they forgot to look in front of them and thus collided with each other.
Fans react to the moment of brilliance from Lionel Messi. One fan wrote, “Bro made them do hug.” While another fan downplayed the Major Soccer League. They wrote, “My idol going against plumbers now.”

While another fan refused to believe that the league is real. They wrote, “Repeat after me: this is NOT a real league.”
The 36-year-old has had an impressive start at his new club Inter Miami. The player joined the MLS side after the expiry of his contract with his former club PSG.
Lionel Messi pulls off another Marvel superhero celebration
The Inter Miami superstar shows off another Marvel-inspired celebration after he scored his recent goal against Charlotte. Messi celebrated the goal by imitating the Marvel superhero Spiderman’s web-shooting gesture.
This is the third time that the former Barcelona player has pulled off a superhero-inspired celebration. Fans first witnessed the celebration when he imitated Thor’s motion to summon his hammer, Mjolnir against Atlanta.
The celebrations continued in the next game as well when he channeled out his inner Black Panther and stroke the famous Black Panther pose by crossing both his hands against his chest.

According to Argentinian journalist Gaston Edul, the real reason behind his celebrations are his sons who love the franchise. The journalist shared, “The Thor and Black Panther celebrations by Messi are for his family and his sons because they like those Marvel movies.”
These celebrations resonate with the love that the player holds for his family. Moreover, fans are also curious to see if the World Cup winner will continue this trend in the future as well.
Lionel Messi has scored eight goals in five matches for Inter Miami since his debut against Cruz Azul in July. He might surpass the club’s highest goal scorer of all time, Gonzalo Higuain, in no time. Messi has already moved into fourth place behind teammate Robert Taylor.
