Messi’s Debut

What did you do on Friday night? Personally, I was glued to the television watching Leo's debut with Inter Miami. Although he didn't start the match, the buzz surrounding his debut was intense. At one point, the average ticket price was $440 and over 23,000 fans attended the game - the highest attendance ever at the Inter Miami stadium. Additionally, over 12.5 million viewers watched the match on AppleTV. 

When Leo began warming up during halftime, the stadium erupted with excitement. When he finally entered the game, it was as if the team had just won. Fans went wild! Messi was subbed in when the match was tied 1-1, and we all knew that he would do something magical. Whether it was his precise passing or his lightning-fast speed, Messi always delivers. 

In the 94th minute, Messi was fouled just outside the box. As long-time fans know, Messi is deadly with his free kicks. He confidently placed the ball, took three steps back, and then bam! The ball landed in the back of the net, with the opposing goalie having no chance at saving it. In that moment of jubilation, we were reminded that even though Messi is nearing the end of his football career, his magical moments will live on in the hearts of football fans everywhere. 

Did you happen to catch the match? If not, you can see it below.
