The Argentine converted a direct free kick in the fourth minute of added time on Friday (local time) to win the North American Leagues Cup 2-1 (1-0) once morest Mexican club Cruz Azul.
Around 21,000 spectators – including stars like LeBron James, Serena Williams, Gloria Estefan and Kim Kardashian – had waited until the 54th minute of the game. Then the world footballer came into play together with the recently committed Spanish world champion Sergio Busquets.
“Great things are going to happen. I feel the same desire I’ve always had as a competitor and I want to win and help Miami grow,” the 36-year-old Messi said at his presentation last week.
Inter Miami have not won in 11 games in American Major League Soccer (MLS) and are currently bottom in the Eastern Conference. This is one of the reasons why the club of co-owner David Beckham recently signed the long-standing Spanish international Jordi Alba from FC Barcelona in addition to Messi and Busquets.
