Lionel Messi rocked US soccer as he kickstarted his Inter Miami career with a dramatic, late winner on his debut.

The World Cup winner was subbed on off the bench in the 54th minute of the Leagues Cup game against Cruz Azul to make his first appearance for the MLS team but waited until stoppage time to truly announce his arrival.

And what an arrival it was. The Argentine curled a stunning free kick into the top left corner to avoid the matchup going to penalties at the death.

The game's greatest player - a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner - scored on a free kick from about 25 yards in the 94th minute, giving Inter Miami a 2-1 win over Mexican club Cruz Azul on Friday night in the Leagues Cup.

His left foot sent the ball over a wall of four Cruz Azul defenders and into the upper left corner of the net, unquestionably the greatest moment in Inter Miami's brief history. Play resumed for roughly a minute before the referee's whistle blew, and fireworks shot into the night sky.

It’s Normal for mr influencer to drop another interview, maybe dis time him go say mls is playing Hollywood n getting revenue from fans with Messi
My biggest flex is dt Messi never replies him
Penaldo de always carry Messi doinz for head n totally obsessed with Messi Bt Messi no even care about his existence
For cr7 it’s him against Messi
For Messi, it’s him against all his haters

Absolutely. I think she attended one of PsG home games, when Leo was playing in Paris, last season. Here is a picture they took with him


Leo Messi signed and gave his debut match winning Inter Miami shirt to Saint (Kanye and Kim Kardashian's son)

Even his own teammates were left bewildered by this Magician God blessed us with.

of course I did bro, even Serena Williams and Kim were dumbfounded, they can’t believe what they just saw. David Beckham was in tears. That’s is the 🐐 effect. He does this effortlessly.

Leo Messi celebrated his epic winner with his family 🥰🤴

Good one, it is only fans of one club in EPL that believe Cr7 is better than MESSI while the rest of the world believe in LEO.
