Argentine Superstar Lionel Messi scored on his debut for Major League Soccer side Inter Miami as they secured a victory over Cruz Azul in a League Cup Match.
Inter Miami nicked a 2-1 win on home soil after Messi came in clutch, converting a free kick in the 94th minute to break a 1-1 tie as they moved to the top of Group J in the League Cup. A perfect start for the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner as the MLS hopes to bring unparalleled attention to the already progressing league.
Messi was introduced into the game in the 54th minute alongside Sergio Busquets and Josef Martinez as the trio made an instant impact coming into the game. Just when it seemed the match was heading to a penalty shoot-out, Lionel Messi with an unstoppable strike left the goalie with no chance.
Although the 35-year-old World Cup Winner officially signed with Inter Miami last week and made a one to remember introduction, the real journey began on the pitch on Friday evening after which he made an excellent debut. His move to Inter Miami came months after the huge success of his career, leading his Nation to conquest at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
He remains an exceptional player, with a record seven-time Ballon d’Or, 10 Spanish La Liga titles and four UEFA Champions Leagues with Barcelona, with a remarkable international career.
