Lionel Messi’s Brilliant Free Kick Gives Inter Miami Win In His Debut With MLS Club (VIDEO)
Lionel Messi, the world’s top player, finally made his highly anticipated debut with Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami, and it was nothing short of spectacular.
In a Leagues Cup match against Mexican side Cruz Azul, Messi displayed his brilliance by scoring the decisive goal in the closing moments of the second half.
With a magnificent free-kick from outside the box, he secured a 2-1 victory for Inter Miami in front of a packed DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
After the game, Messi expressed his determination to score and avoid penalties, which ultimately led to the crucial win for his team. The Leagues Cup, which now includes all teams from MLS and Liga MX, was expanded this year to intensify the competition.
Just months after leading Argentina to a World Cup victory, Messi entered the game in the 54th minute when Inter Miami had a 1-0 lead. However, Cruz Azul managed to equalize in the 65th minute, setting the stage for Messi’s heroics.
In the 94th minute, amidst numerous close encounters, Messi finally made the breakthrough, providing a fairytale ending to his debut with the game-winning goal.
Inter Miami co-owner, David Beckham, was in awe of the victory and credited players like Messi and Sergio Busquets for their skills and contributions to the team’s success.
The match was attended by numerous stars, including David Beckham himself, NBA superstar LeBron James, tennis champion Serena Williams, and Kim Kardashian, among others.
This historic night marked a special moment not just for Inter Miami but also for the country and the league as a whole.
The team will be looking to carry this momentum into their next match against MLS side Atlanta United in the Leagues Cup group stage.
