Lionel Messi was once again a figure at Inter Miami. In his team’s match against Atlanta United last Tuesday, the “Flea” scored two goals and an assist for the win, although what stood out the most was his “curious” celebration.
Social network users debated whether this gesture from Rosario alluded to Darth Vader when he used the Force in the Star Wars saga or if, on the contrary, it was Thor calling his hammer Mjolnir in battle.
Finally, Antonela Roccuzzo cleared up all doubts on her Instagram account by posting a story of Messi’s photo and a sticker with Mjolnir, revealing that it was the Marvel character.
After scoring his second goal, the captain of the Argentine team looked at the box where his family was and extended his right arm making the particular gesture of the Viking god played on the screen by Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, to then close with a smile.
Inter Miami’s next rival
Lionel Messi and Inter Miami have a rival for the Round of 16 of the Leagues Cup: it is none other than their “classic” from Florida, Orlando City.
With first place in their group (South 3) secured after victories against Cruz Azul (2-1) and Atlanta United (4-0), Inter watched this weekend’s date on TV, including the draw 1 to 1 this Saturday between Atlanta United and Cruz Azul, with a visiting victory that on penalties that qualified the Mexicans in the second phase. Thus, the zone was left with Inter (6 points) and Cruz Azul (2) as classified and Thiago Almada’s Atlanta (1), eliminated.
The first of the South 3 will then face the leader of the South 2, a zone that was also settled this Saturday with the entertaining victory of Orlando City against Santos Laguna by 3 to 2, with a goal from the Uruguayan ex-Lanús Mauricio Pereyra.
Also playing in Orlando are defender Rodrigo Schlegel (ex-Racing), winger Martín Ojeda (ex-Godoy Cruz, Huracán and Racing), attacker Gastón González (ex-Union) and number nine Ramiro Enrique (ex-Banfield). The team finished above the Houston Dynamo (3 points) and Santos Laguna (1) in their group.
