YERRY MINA showed off his dance moves after scoring a sensational spot kick in Fiorentina’s 5-4 shootout victory over Bologna in the Coppa Italia.
But fans have called for Lionel Messi to look away after the pair came to blows during the Copa America semi-final in 2021.
Mina, 29, whipped out the dance moves after converting a brilliant top corner penalty in the shootout.
It’s a celebration well known to the footballing world as the defender is guilty of doing it more than once.

The former Everton defender, who spent one season at the Camp Nou, was the victim of several digs from the Ballon d’Or winner as Argentina overcame Colombia on penalties two years ago.
The bust-up came when Mina had his penalty saved by Emiliano Martinez, who went on to keep two more out.
Shortly after the defender’s miss from the spot, Messi was overheard shouting: “Why don’t you dance now? Dance now.”

Meanwhile, Everton fans were gutted that their side did not have Mina for their recent 6-7 penalty shootout loss to Fulham in the Carabao Cup.
