This ritual evolved as they watched new Marvel movies, practising different goal celebrations after each viewing. 

However, Messi exclusively performs these celebrations during home games, when his children are present to share the special moments.

Messi’s initial Marvel-themed celebration occurred during a match against Atlanta United, where he extended his arm in a Thor-esque gesture, akin to summoning Mjölnir, instead of the usual “hold my beer” gesture toward Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham.

In subsequent games, he replicated Black Panther’s signature crossed-arm pose when finding the target against Orlando City and mimicked Spider-Man’s web-shooting stance during a clash with Charlotte FC.

He expressed his desire to achieve immediate success at DRV PNK Stadium by incorporating these unique celebrations into his goalscoring moments.
