Lionel Messi made his long-awaited debut for Inter Miami came on Friday night and the Argentine did not disappoint.
The soccer icon came off the bench in the second half and then proceeded to score with a memorable free kick in the closing stages of the game to lead his team to a 2-1 win over Cruz Azul. LeBron James was just one of the many stars in attendance and he was hyped after Messi’s game-winner.
“Incredible!!!!”
INCREDIBLE!!!! 🐐 https://t.co/fEhhXSZRAx

He then took to Instagram to praise the little magician.
“Of course he did! HIM”
“Wow wow wow”
That was some way to announce yourself on the new stage by Messi. He is 36 years old now but is far from some finished commodity. He can still produce magical moments on a regular basis and soccer fans in the U.S. are in for an absolute treat.
Messi and LeBron had shared an embrace before the game as well and James certainly made the right call by heading over to Miami to attend it. The MLS is nowhere near the likes of the NBA and the NFL, but Messi’s presence is certainly going to help the league grow a lot, especially after this memorable debut.
LeBron James Had Hailed Lionel Messi As The GOAT Last Year
It is incredible moments like these on the biggest stage for almost the last 20 years that have made Messi the greatest soccer player ever in the eyes of many. He strengthened his GOAT case by winning the FIFA World Cup last year by scoring two goals in the Final as Argentina beat France on penalties.
After that sensational triumph, LeBron crowned Messi as the GOAT as he won the only thing that was missing from his trophy cabinet. By the time his stint in the MLS is up, you certainly wouldn’t bet against him having won it all there either.
