Messi shows he remains a moment in the US Championship Free goal against Porto in the group stage.
PSG relaxed in the second half after four Nets in the first phase, which gave Messi a moment and Inter Miami to see more.
A great cushioning ball on the top gave Suarez a great chance, but the striker’s first touch disappointed him.
“This is Lionel Messi’s tournament,” said former Scottish midfielder Dazn Pundit Don Hutchison.
“It’s a pity that Suarez couldn’t do this because it was Messi’s genius.”
Messi scored a shot, hit a free kick, and hit the wall, and Gianluigi Donnarumma saved several shots.
The first was when he slipped a few defenders into the box before shooting – the second was a header – reminiscent of his 2009 Champions League final against Manchester United.
“I think Leo is doing well in our choice,” said his boss and former Barcelona teammate Mascherano.
“In the second half, we found him more. In the first half, we couldn’t because of Paris’ pressure.”
It feels as if this will be his last game that may be watched worldwide – those supporters watched this Marmite FIFA Club World Cup.
If he stays at Miami International, it’s likely just at the club level, where North American games start.
This game will not be played again until 2029, and Messi will be 42 years old. Definitely not…
