David Beckham could not hide his joy after Messi's fantastic goal.

Lionel Messi's debut with Inter Miami was a historic match, which managed to captivate the attention of millions of viewers, also ending with a great goal from Lionel Messi from a free kick, a real madness. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) started on the substitute bench and saw how his teammates managed to go ahead at half-time.

Five minutes into the second half, he made his long-awaited debut with the Garzas and the DRV PNK Stadium collapsed. The '10' he received the captain's ribbon from DeAndre Yedlin and in just a couple of interventions he proved to be the best on the field.

Unfortunately for Cruz Azul, when the game was ready to go to penalties, Lionel was fouled from behind and declared the final 2-1 with a great goal from a free kick that will remain for the memory. It was then, when David Beckham burst into tears, as he could not believe Lionel Messi's wonder goal.

What is the Leagues Cup?

This is the competition that brings together all the teams of the Liga MX and those of the MLS. It is divided into 15 groups of three teams each. The zones are divided by region and are integrated according to competitive balance criteria. Inter is part of their group along with Atlanta United and Cruz Azul. The next day will be against the team in which the Argentine Thiago Almada plays, Leo's teammate in the World Cup.
