The moment the whole football world has been waiting for is over. Lionel Messi has made his debut for his new team and the football fever is in full swing in Miami. The Argentine idol scored a magnificent goal in his first game.
Until recently, almost no one had reason to follow Inter Miami, but nowadays they are a team that is under the scrutiny of fans and the world media. The reason is simple. Lionel Messi.
Moreover, Barcelona fans can be happy that several legends of the Catalan club will play together for the team from Florida. Besides Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba have signed for Inter, and there is also speculation about the arrival of Andrés Iniesta and Luis Suárez.
However, back to Messi. His debut was expected for a while after the announcement of his signing. In the meantime, Inter Miami proved that sportingly, they definitely have room for improvement. The team was not doing too well.
The only win in the last ten games is more than telling. It wasn’t even in the league, but only in the cup competition. It happened at the beginning of June. That’s why fans were curious to see how Messi could change Inter’s game.
And he did it in the very first game. In a relatively new competition called the Leagues Cup, in which teams from the top Mexican and American competitions compete against each other, Miami took on the traditional Mexican team Cruz Azul.
Messi came on as a substitute in the 54th minute and Busquets came on at the same time. Miami was leading 1-0 at the time, but about 10 minutes later the sold-out stadium had to recover from the equaliser.
And then what happened? Messi decided the drama. In the 94th minute, he was given the chance to play a standard situation and with his magical left foot he swept the crossbar beautifully. He confirmed that it would be hard to find a better footballer in history.
