Messi doesn’t smile in photos, not even when he’s with his wife Antonela… Ah, but with Spider-Man 👀😂

Two photos, the same Messi, two completely different emotions. 🕷️

In the first, Lionel Messi poses next to his wife Antonela Roccuzzo with a serious expression, almost like a formality, like those photos you take because you have to. In the second, he’s hanging in the air next to Spider-Man, arms wide open, with the face of a kid on Christmas morning, literally living his childhood dream.

Users were quick to notice the difference, and the meme practically made itself: romantic love versus love for a superhero in a red and blue suit. And to top it off, another image of Messi circulated showing him in a hospital bed hugging a Spider-Man plush, making it clear that this fascination goes back long before any trip to New York. 🕸️😂
