What is the new Lionel Messi hold my beer celebration and its meaning
The Messi era has begun in the MLS
Inter Miami’s life under Lionel Messi has gotten off to the best possible start with a 4-0 victory over Atlanta United in their Leagues Cup match on Tuesday. The game-winning freekick he scored against Cruz Azul the previous week was added to by the Argentine superstar, who also had two goals and an assist.
As one of the MLS’s newest expansion teams looks to establish itself in the league, Messi’s acquisition was a statement signing for Beckham and company. It is safe to assume that Messi and Sergio Busquets have transformed the Floridian team, which had only won one of the team’s previous ten games.
Watch Messi dedicating his celebration to Beckham.
In a video posted by ESPN FC on Twitter, Messi celebrated his goal against Atlanta by pointing to the heavens and then making a gesture towards Beckham, who was watching from the sidelines. This shows the growing bond between Beckham and his star player.

Beckham had a crucial part in persuading Messi to join Inter Miami after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, and Messi was given the number 10 jersey and the captaincy for Inter Miami. Messi and Beckham were caught on camera speaking at the PSG training facility. Beckham had previously spent time with the Parisian club after playing for the LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer.
Inter Miami seems to be on the right path.
For this redesigned Miami club, qualifying for the round of 32 is a crucial first step. They are currently stuck at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, and Beckham fired Phil Neville, a former teammate from Manchester United, as their head coach. Tata Martino, an Argentine who won the MLS title with Atlanta United in 2018 and linked up with Messi, took Neville’s place. Messi has experience working for both the national team and Martino, who managed Barcelona for one season.
Success in cup tournaments will be Beckham and Messi’s immediate priority. They have advanced to the round of 32 in the Leagues Cup, which included teams from the Mexican Liga MX and the MLS, with victories over Cruz Azul and Atlanta. In a similar vein, despite their league struggles, they have advanced to the semifinals of the US Open Cup, the domestic championship for American professional sports clubs.
Following Messi’s official MLS debut against Charlotte FC at the DRV PNK Stadium on August 20, they will gear up to play table-topping FC Cincinnati in the semifinal on August 23 and deliver a result inspired by some Messi magic.
