While Cristiano is in Saudi Arabia just for the money, Lionel Messi's incredible gesture of humility in the USA

Lionel Messi is the best player in the world and the World Cup in Qatar 2022 finished clearing up any doubt. The man from Rosario was always involved in an eternal comparison with Cristiano Ronaldo, but in recent years he has become really uneven and meaningless, especially after the Portuguese's second stage at Manchester United.

Now, in addition to all the records and recognitions, something that those who have the chance to meet Messi always highlight is his human quality and simplicity. Now, following his Inter Miami debut, he proved these claims to be true by dedicating the win to injured teammate Ian Fray. But that did not stop there and he backed up his words with deeds.

After the agonizing victory against Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup, the squad posed in the locker room to keep the memory of what was the first meeting of the captain of the Argentine National Team with the Garzas. Now, in that photo, Lionel had a detail that shows his greatness: he held Ian Fray's shirt.

How serious is Ian Fray's injury?

As Inter Miami reported this Saturday through a statement, the defender suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the remainder of the season. Undoubtedly a tough injury that will require a tedious recovery. Unfortunately for him, he could not share the field with Lionel Messi (he left 30 minutes into the first half) and now he will have to wait a few months for that moment to happen.
