Lionel Messi's "Star War" Celebration Is Talk Of Town

It seems a pink-clad Messi has a new celebration up his sleeve, and no, despite the color, it's got nothing to do with Barbie and everything to do with Star Wars. After scoring a goal, Messi displayed a move that left the audience rather tickled.

Pulling a Sith-like move, the 36-year-old star player went all out for a stone-cold celebration. With a blank, staring-into-space kind of expression, Messi raised his hand just like Darth Vader’s iconic force choke, twisting it to show he decimated the opposition, before giving the fans the cutest smirk to cap it off.

Clearly, given that he's shifted to a new football club, Messi is more than happy to debut a new celebration every time he scores, and it's giving fans everything.

Watch!
