An iconic Lionel Messi meme is now forever immortalized as a Fortnite Emote.
As the newest member of the Fortnite Icon Series, Messi received customized skins and accompanying cosmetics in Epic Games' Battle Royale. From outfits honoring Messi's career with Argentina and Inter Miami to golden Back Blings and Pickaxes that feature crowns, soccer balls and the number 10.
Fans can also purchase Messi-inspired Emotes, including the #1 Fan Llama Emote that might sound familiar. The Emote summons a golden llama that says Messi's name in the tone of a goat as confetti falls. The audio is an homage to the viral meme of Messi saying his own name in the same tone, marking himself as the G.O.A.T. of the sport.
The Emote then plays loud crowd noise, simulating the reaction and applause of an excited stadium anytime Messi shows his one-of-a-kind skill on the pitch.
Here's how to get the hilarious Emote in-game.
