Ever Wondered Why Lionel Messi Looks To The Heavens After Scoring A Goal? The Reason Will Move You To Tears!
Messi's trademark celebration is to look up at the sky when he nets the ball.
Footballers are known for certain trademark celebrations. But have we as fans ever wondered if there is a method to this madness?

Well, the answer is yes. Some big names have unique styles and these styles do have a certain history among them.
Speaking of big names, a certain Lionel Messi makes the humble gesture of looking up at the sky every time he finds the back of the net. The logical explanation would be that he thanks the Lord for giving him the strength to do well. Well, that's not the reason!
Messi looks up and remembers his grandmother. She had passed away before he became an international sensation.
Messi¡¯s grandmother was the one who first put him on a football pitch despite coaches writing him off because of his small stature.
The rest as we know is history. A teenager made his entry into the Argentina team and made big strides with Barcelona as well. Messi shone for club and country to be hailed as the best player on the planet.

So if it weren¡¯t for Messi¡¯s grandmother, we might have never seen him play football at this level or break records and create new ones.
There you have it football fans. Messi does not seek divine inspiration after he scores a goal, he simply remembers the person in his life who gave him the encouragement to kick the ball.
