Just minutes ago, Lionel Messi won his third game in a row with Inter Miami. From the looks of it, the Argentine soccer legend just cannot stop scoring goals and his MLS debut hasn’t even happened yet! It does seem like he is finally enjoying himself after an unexpected, sad exit from PSG. For consecutive games, the World Cup winner pulled off some fancy superhero celebrations after scoring a goal.

Despite another two-goal brace by Messi, many of the fans were disappointed with the referees. Throughout the game, social media was full of criticism as the fans sensed a certain bias towards the Miami-based club.

What are these superhero celebrations by Lionel Messi?

The 7x Ballon d’Or winner has already scored five goals in three games. Since his jaw-dropping free kick against Cruz Azul, the World Cup winner’s name is on the tip of everyone’s tongue. All of a sudden, he’s made Inter Miami look like a whole new and stronger team. The soccer veteran is quite the ideal team player, too. Despite his reputation, he doesn’t mind hanging out and celebrating with his teammates.

In two consecutive games, his celebrations, after scoring a goal, have garnered quite a bit of attention. While he followed a Thor and Darth Vader celebration theme in the last game, he adopted the iconic black panther pose in the Orlando City game. From the look of it, these celebrations were directed toward his wife and kids sitting in the stands.
