The Argentine forward's latest celebration pays homage to Iron Man, featuring a pose reminiscent of the iconic superhero's flying stance.

Messi's goal against Charlotte marked his 15th in 16 MLS games this season, solidifying Inter Miami's position at the top of the Eastern Conference.

After scoring, Messi punched the air in celebration and then assumed the Iron Man pose, looking up at his children in the stands.

Throughout his time with Inter Miami, Messi has incorporated several Marvel-themed celebrations into his goal-scoring routine.

These celebrations often include references to other popular superheroes like Thor, Black Panther, and Spiderman.

In an interview with the Miami Herald last year, Messi revealed that the idea for these celebrations came from his sons, who are avid fans of Marvel movies. He said:

"My three sons are still on vacation and have not started school yet, so every night we watch Marvel superhero movies. They came up with the idea and asked that whenever I have a game and score a goal, I do a Marvel superhero celebration. That's how it started, and we continued that ritual."  

Messi's celebration against Charlotte was overshadowed by a heated altercation with the referee after the match.
