Lionel Messi Inspires Inter Miami To Victory In MLS Season Opener

Lionel Messi played a pivotal role as Inter Miami secured a 2-0 victory against Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer’s season opener in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Robert Taylor and Diego Gomez scored for Miami, with Messi showcasing his brilliance throughout the game.

According to ESPN, Messi displayed his trademark skills, weaving through defenders and coming close to scoring from a free kick and a corner kick in the first half. MLS Commissioner Don Garber, present at the match, emphasized the global attention on Inter Miami and expressed hope for their success.

Last season, Messi’s impact was profound, with 11 goals in 14 matches, leading Inter Miami to their first-ever trophy, the Leagues Cup. Despite joining the team mid-season, injuries hampered his performance, and Inter Miami missed out on the MLS playoffs.

However, Messi’s allure remains undiminished, evident in the long lines of fans queuing to purchase his jersey, the top-selling MLS item last year. He played a pivotal role in both goals against Real Salt Lake, including assisting former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez, who contributed to Gomez’s goal.

Suarez expressed his delight after the match, highlighting the team’s potential as contenders, a stark contrast to their performance in the exhibition season. Messi’s influence extends beyond the pitch, shaping Inter Miami’s aspirations and fueling excitement among fans and observers alike.
