After Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo has his own Marvel superhero shoutout! Since making his debut for Inter Miami, Messi has been celebrating in a unique style. The Argentine icon’s celebrations have been based on superheroes from popular Marvel comics like Thor, Spiderman, and Black Panther. However, even Cristiano Ronaldo recently received a shoutout from another Marvel superhero.
Speaking about the reason behind his celebrations, Lionel Messi explained that it was at his children’s request. He revealed that his children watch Marvel movies every night since school hasn’t started. His children then suggest he do the celebration of a particular superhero in the following game. However, Messi also added that he only celebrates during home games when his family is present at the stadium.
Leo Messi: “Marvel celebrations? My children are still on vacation and they haven’t started school yet so every night we watch Marvel movies. They are the ones who came up with the idea. They ask me to celebrate as a superhero after scoring goals.” pic.twitter.com/1ygCw5tQrM

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been enjoying their time since moving out of Europe this year. Despite a slow start to his time in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo recently won the Arab Club Champions Cup with Al-Nassr. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has been in incredible form since arriving at Inter Miami. The Argentine skipper lifted Inter Miami’s first and 44th title of his career after winning the Leagues Cup a couple of days ago.
Why did Cristiano Ronaldo leave Juventus?
Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Juventus from Real Madrid in 2018, left the club in 2021. After winning two Serie A titles, two Supercoppa Italiana, and one Coppa Italia, Ronaldo left the Italian giants. He also broke the record for most goals scored by a Juventus player in a single season. He also became the fastest player to score 50 goals in Serie A, while scoring a total of 101 goals in 134 appearances.
Announcing his departure, Ronaldo wrote, “Today I depart from an amazing club, the biggest in Italy and surely one of the biggest in all of Europe.” He further talked about how much respect he received from the club and the fans. After leaving Juventus, Ronaldo made his historic return to Manchester United. However, several players criticized the Portuguese icon after leaving Juventus.
Juventus legend Alessio Tacchinardi didn’t appreciate the way the former Real Madrid star staged his exit. Tacchinardi stated that Ronaldo should have properly announced his farewell in front of the fans. Sergio Brio, another ex-Juventus star, branded Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit as disrespectful to the club.
