The 'Encara Messi' or 'Ankara Messi' meme stems from Joaquim Maria Puyal’s legendary Catalan commentary during Lionel Messi’s 2007 goal against Getafe. As Messi dribbled past half the team, Puyal repeatedly shouted 'Encara Messi' (Still Messi), which listeners in Turkey and beyond humorously interpreted as 'Ankara Messi.' Over a decade later, the audio resurfaced on TikTok and Reels, becoming a viral sound used to represent someone being absolutely unstoppable, incredibly persistent, or just moving too fast for others to catch up. It is a staple of football culture and remains one of the most recognizable sports memes globally.
