World Cup
Messi celebrated the goal against the Netherlands a la Riquelme
Messi celebrated his goal against the Netherlands by pricking up his ears, a celebration made famous by Riquelme in 2001.
In the 73rd minute of the game between the Netherlands and Argentina, the Albiceleste made it 2-0 with a Messi penalty. Pulga celebrated by showing off his ears.
With this celebration, the Argentines commemorated him Juan Roman Riquelme. Boca’s current vice-president first celebrated in this way in the Xeinezes’ game against River in 2001, showing his displeasure with management.
“It was dedicated to my daughter because she loves Topo Gigio (a cartoon with a mouse with big ears)” he explained after the end of the game.
In fact, Otamendi showed his ears to the Dutch after the penalty shootout, just like Messi did.
