Following in the footsteps of Messi and Suarez.. The sons of the legends revive the 'Pistolero' celebration and the audience reacts

The sons of stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez ignited social media after they revived one of the most famous celebrations in football history, in a scene that brought back memories of the golden era of the duo.

A celebration that brings back memories of Barcelona

Ciro Messi and Lautaro Suarez replicated the famous 'Pistolero' gesture, the celebration that Suarez used to perform after scoring goals, by pointing with both hands as if he were shooting in the air.
The close relationship between Messi and Suarez dates back to their time playing together at Barcelona, where they formed one of the strongest attacking lines in the club's history alongside Brazilian Neymar.

From Barcelona to Inter Miami

The friendship continued both on and off the field after Messi moved to Inter Miami in the summer of 2023, before Suarez joined him in January 2024, contributing together to lead the team to win the American league title last season.
Ciro, Messi's youngest son, plays in the Inter Miami academy alongside Lautaro, Suarez's son, reflecting the extension of their relationship to the new generation.

Widespread audience interaction

The photo posted by the club's official account garnered widespread interaction, as many considered it a symbolic scene confirming that the historic partnership between Messi and Suarez is still ongoing… but this time through their sons.
