Fans of Inter Miami have enjoyed watching Lionel Messi throughout his initial appearances for the team. The Argentine made his Leagues Cup debut in the second half of his team’s League Cup match against Cruz Azul. The Argentine eventually scored the game-winning goal with seconds remaining to help his new team win 2-1. Then, in their subsequent Leagues Cup game against Atlanta United, he contributed to a 4-0 triumph with two goals and an assist.
Eight minutes into the game, the former PSG attacker scored the game’s first goal. Shortly after, he added a second. He was observed celebrating after securing his brace in a way that had never been seen before, pointing an open-handed gesture in the direction of his wife and three children who were situated pitchside.
Though many supporters were left in the dark about its significance, it appears that Messi’s family was aware of it. Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo discreetly explained the significance of his celebration on Instagram. She added a Thor GIF along with a shot of Messi executing the celebration. It is well known that Thiago, Messi’s oldest kid, is a huge Marvel fan and that Thor is his favorite hero. So it appears that Messi wantҽd to honor
Football enthusiasts were shocked when Messi signed with Inter Miami during the current summer transfer window. He was anticipated to sign with Saudi Pro League team Al Hilal, who offered a sizable sum of money, after leaving PSG as a free agent. Additionally, Barcelona was thought to be his preferred destination, but a move there was prevented by the club’s financial problems.
He will make a ton of money from sponsors as the 2022 FIFA World Cup winners move to MLS. According to a contract between Apple and MLS, the company will pay at least $250 million per season in exchange for the right to stream all league games on a global scale for ten years.
According to additional reports, MLS and Apple reportedly offered Messi a cut of the revenue from new customers who sign up for the MLS Season Pass streaming program on Apple TV. Even a four-episode documentary series about Messi that follows his FIFA World Cup journey has been revҽaled by Apple TV.
Adidas has long been Messi’s sponsor and is a significant MLS sponsor. They allegedly gave him a cut of the revenue from item sales that resulted from his entry into Major League Soccer. And to top it off, when he retires, he will also inherit more than a third of Inter Miami.
