Lionel Messi is the sensation of the Copa América 2021. He has four goals and four assists in five games played, thus guiding Argentina to the semifinals of the tournament.
Among the many peculiarities he has had, the Barcelona star added a new nickname to his credit in this Cup. To ‘Lío’, the ‘Flea’, ‘GOAT’ and others now comes ‘Ankara’ … where did that word come from?
Its creator is ‘Luquitas Rodríguez’, a renowned Argentine streamer who has become famous in recent months for reacting to Albiceleste matches and referring to 10 with that strange nickname.
The comedian also explained on video that said word was born from the story of a Catalan narrator, just the day that Messi scored a ‘Maradonian’ goal from midfield against Getafe. Play in which he eluded the entire rival team at the point of dribbling. “Ankara Messi, Ankara Messi, goal, goal, goal” was the only thing that could be heard on the broadcast.
Thus, ‘Luquitas’ began to refer to 10 with that term and little by little users began to copy it. The situation reached such a point that renowned narrators such as Pablo Giralt or Rodolfo de Paoli mentioned the popular ‘Ankara’ in the different Cup matches.
“It’s kind of shameful to tell it because it doesn’t contain any jokes, just part of the stupidity of total nonsense. I would like it to hide a greater meaning, but it is merely stupid ”, revealed Rodríguez.
