Lionel Messi scores a last minute goal for Inter Miami in his debut match
Friday’s wonderful night was seen by a full DRV PNK Stadium. The event in Florida was attended by some of the biggest names in sports history. This includes LeBron James, the all-time top scorer in NBA history, and Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion. However, thousands in the stadium were just there to witness one man- Lionel Messi.
Kim Kardashian, a prominent American media figure, attended with her kids. But there was no one participating in the magical event. To see the great Lionel Messi, thousands of people flocked to the stadium in the late hours of Florida.
The Argentine superstar Lionel Messi not only made his eagerly anticipated Inter Miami debut in the League Cup encounter against Mexican club Cruz Azul, but he also scored an incredible last-second free-kick winner.
After months of rumors, Messi finally signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Inter Miami last weekend. He will earn between $50 million and $60 million annually. Messi was introduced to thousands of fans on Sunday, and Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham revealed that the event’s online video has received 3.5 billion views.
Messi and fellow rookie Sergio Busquets made their MLS debuts later on Friday. In the 54th minute of the game, with Inter Milan leading 1-0, he came off the bench to replace midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi. Messi’s friend instantly gave him the captain’s hat. The Argentine made history by becoming the first Golden Ball winner of a FIFA World Cup to play in Major League Soccer with his debut.

Messi did manage to create a few chances for himself, but he was unable to score. And then, just as it appeared that the game might end in a supplementary penalty shootout, Messi produced a true masterpiece with his left foot.
