Lionel Messi’s debut for Inter Miami was highly anticipated, with some people paying a significant amount of money to be there, making it an unforgettable experience. The team’s owners invested over $100 million in creating moments like this, and it seems to have been money well spent. Messi ended the opening night with a dramatic moment, as his left foot delivered a stunning free kick into the top left corner of the net in the 94th minute, securing a 2-1 victory over Cruz Azul in a Leagues Cup match. After the game, Messi humbly commented, “I knew that I had to score.”
Despite Messi’s nonchalant remark, his winning goal was no easy feat. As the game’s greatest active player, Messi’s skill and achievements speak for themselves. With seven Ballon d’Or wins and a World Cup championship under his belt, Messi’s talent was evident as he sent the ball over a wall of four Cruz Azul defenders for the decisive goal. This moment undoubtedly stands as the greatest in Inter Miami’s short history, accompanied by fireworks and jubilation. Inter Miami coach Tata Martino aptly described Messi’s performance as a movie scene that we’ve seen before. Throughout his debut, Messi showcased his showmanship by interacting with fans and making an impact on the field.
And if that wasn’t enough, Messi saved his best moment for the end. After joining the game early in the second half, he witnessed the ball finding the back of the net, a sight he’s experienced approximately 800 times for club and country. He celebrated by sprinting to the corner of the field, embraced by his teammates. David Beckham, Jorge Mas, and Jose Mas, the team’s owners, eagerly awaited Messi as he left the pitch. Meanwhile, Cruz Azul players stood in silence, witnessing Messi’s brilliance. Despite Cruz Azul’s attempts to equalize and take the lead, Messi stole the show with his extraordinary skills. Coach Martino emphasized that while Messi’s goal seemed normal, it was anything but ordinary. The MLS posted a video of the goal here.
