Messi’s Celebration Mood Vanishes in Viral Inter Miami Video
A clip of Lionel Messi appearing “out of sync” during Inter Miami’s title celebration has taken over social media, sparking jokes, memes and theories after the club’s MLS Cup triumph.
Inter Miami’s historic MLS Cup victory delivered unforgettable scenes at Chase Stadium — but none as viral as the moment Lionel Messi, noticeably exhausted, appeared “out of place” during the team’s celebratory conga line led by David Beckham. The club, coached by Javier Mascherano, celebrated its first league title, yet it was Messi’s expression that dominated online conversation.
A Victory Party That Turned Into a Viral Sensation
After the 3–1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps, players, staff and executives moved to a private hall to continue the festivities. With music, dancing and lights setting the tone, Beckham shocked fans by joining the cumbia and leading the iconic “conga line,” blending Latin and English football cultures in a single moment.
Among those in the line appeared Messi, wearing a light shirt and followed closely by Rodrigo De Paul. But unlike the rest of the group, the Argentine star walked forward without dancing, without moving to the beat, and with a look that fans interpreted more as tiredness than celebration. The clip instantly exploded on X (formerly Twitter), collecting millions of views.
“Doesn’t look like he’s feeling it…” one user joked. Another imagined Messi thinking: “Anto, please take me home.” A third highlighted the unlikely combination: “Never thought I’d see Beckham dancing cumbia from Santa Fe.”
Despite the jokes, the video also showed the strong bond between Beckham and the squad. The Inter Miami co-owner was seen hugging Messi, Luis Suárez, De Paul and Mascherano, a testament to the unity that defined the club’s title run.
Mateo Messi Steals the Spotlight on the Pitch
Before the indoor party, another viral moment unfolded on the grass. Mateo Messi, once again, captivated fans with his natural talent, juggling the ball and showing off tricks — even interrupting his father to proudly display a new move he had mastered.
Leo’s three sons — Thiago, Mateo and Ciro — already train at the Inter Miami Academy, and each public appearance further strengthens the belief that the Messi football legacy is far from over.
