The conversation between Messi and two young fans took place while the famous player was in Argentina preparing to play against Bolivia (won 6-0) in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in South America on October 16. The clip has attracted tens of thousands of views on social networks, along with many funny comments.
At that time, Messi talked to two young fans, one of whom asked: “Next time, if you score, can you celebrate like me?”. Messi asked back: “How do you do it?”.
The boy began to express his celebration in the style of today’s young boys and girls, and often appeared on social media trends for Messi to follow. Witnessing this celebration, Messi had to humorously exclaim: “Oh, you are so “strange”, how can I do that?”.
Messi has recently made a strong impression on young fans around the world, when he celebrated some goals in the style of “superheroes” in the Marvel cinematic universe. These are characters such as Thor, Spider-man, Iron man, or most recently, Hawkeye…
According to defender Jordi Alba, Messi performed these celebrations at the request of his sons, as well as the children of striker Suarez, who are very close to the Argentinean family. These celebrations also inspire young fans around the world, who love “superhero” characters in movies, games and children’s books.
However, Messi only celebrates goals in a “superhero” style in Inter Miami’s matches. That’s why, despite scoring a hat-trick in Argentina’s 6-0 win over Bolivia, the famous player only celebrated in a normal way as usual.
But when he returned to Inter Miami with a hat-trick in a 6-2 win over New England Revolution on October 20, the famous player celebrated in the latest style of the character Hawkeye in the superhero movies of the Marvel cinematic universe.
“Messi always keeps his promises to the young fans. Therefore, the question now is whether Messi dares to actually celebrate the way the boy asked him to when he scores the next goal? Does he dare?”, Marca (Spain) challenged Messi.
Messi did not score in Inter Miami’s 2-1 win over Atlanta United in the first round of the MLS Cup play-offs on October 26. Suarez and Jordi Alba scored, with Messi providing the decisive assist.
In the next match, Messi and his teammates will visit Atlanta United’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium at 6am on November 3. If they continue to win, Inter Miami will soon qualify for the next round. This is also the possibility for Messi to show off his unique celebration as requested by the young fan, if he scores and helps his team advance early, according to Marca .
