(VIDEO) What a thrill, this was the fans reaction after Messi's goal against New York Red Bulls

Lionel Messi continues to make headlines following his debut in the MLS over the weekend. The Argentine came on as a substitute in the second half and scored a stunning goal to secure the victory for NY Red Bulls in New Jersey. His impressive debut in U.S. soccer has caught the attention of many, as indicated by Spanish media outlets such as MARCA and SPORT.

However, with their recent victory, The Herons are getting closer to achieving their goal: clinching a spot in the MLS playoffs' wildcard round.

It's not just Lionel Messi who is content; the fans are thrilled as well. A video went viral over the weekend, showing people in Times Square watching Messi's game against NY Red Bulls and celebrating his goal, creating a wonderful scene that captures the excitement of the fans in the Big Apple.
