Lionel Messi does not cease to amaze everyone in the United States. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) made it clear that he did not go to North America on vacation and has already registered seven goals in four games with Inter Miami. A particularity of these many was that two of them celebrated by imitating Marvel superheroes (Thor and Black Panther) and several theories arose around this.

Some pointed out that this was due to contractual issues, since Marvel recently signed an agreement with MLS. However, this was just a mere coincidence and there is nothing of that in the real reason why the captain of the Argentine National Team launched these celebrations in the Leagues Cup.

"Messi's Thor and Black Panther celebrations are for his family and his children, because they like those Marvel movies," reported the Argentine journalist Gastón Edul. This goes hand in hand with a photo of Mateo, Leo's middle son and Anto Roccuzzo, giving his dad a thumbs-up after making the typical hammer-attracting gesture after turning Atlanta United into DRV PNK Stadium.Will he surprise with another superhero against Charlotte?

Messi shares the top of the goalscoring table in the Leagues Cup

After losing the lead on two occasions, the man from Rosario can finally face the next day of the tournament at the top of the table of top scorers. However, he shares it with the South African Hlongwane, from Minnesota United, who also advanced to the round after selling Toluca on penalties.
