Cristiano Ronaldo never did it, Lionel Messi's lesson in humility after his debut with Inter Miami

Lionel Messi's debut with the Inter Miami shirt was as dreamed of as all the fans expected in the run-up to the match. After a close first half in which Inter won 1-0, Gerardo Martino sent Messi onto the field, but Cruz Azul immediately equalized. In the last play of the night, the Argentine number 10 gave victory to his new club with an unforgettable goal, but what he did afterwards was even better.

It is that the Argentine is characterized by being exemplary not only on the field of play, but also off it, due to multiple gestures throughout his career that placed him as one of the most loved people worldwide. Today, after a goal from a free kick that will go down forever in CONCACAF history, Messi spoke to the official MLS press and dedicated the victory to Ian Fray, one of his teammates in Miami, who cannot play due to injury.

Although at first it would not seem so brilliant, since it seems common for a player to support another teammate after an injury, the key is how he said it. Messi spent almost a minute talking non-stop about Ian Fray, as if he had known him all his life, when in reality they have only been together for a week. These small gestures speak about the greatness of Messi.

When will Messi's Inter Miami play again?

Those led by Gerardo Martino took an important step in this matchday one of the Leagues Cup by defeating Cruz Azul, in what was a priori the most difficult game due to the need to end a losing streak. Now that the team has unlocked thanks to Messi's goal, they will look for another win next Tuesday 07/25 against Atlanta United.
