The Argentine superstar hugged his family after scoring a last-gasp free kick in his debut against Cruz Azul, before dedicating a special celebration to his kids in the 4-0 win over Atlanta United.
After scoring the second goal of the night, Messi pulled off a surprising celebration no one had seen from him before and it sparked a lot of debate on social media. But Antonela may have finally revealed the reason behind it.
