Everyone’s talking about Messi but that assist by Busquets was insane
absolutely🤑
ultimate duo for inter miami
That’s why he’s here
And bus quest is in Miami because of messi 😊
It’s clear for everyone that Busquets and Messi are way way above the average of the MLS. They’re two of the best players in the world, they only reason they’re not playing in Europe is because they’re getting old. But the quality is still there.
This man ELEVATES everybody around him! Absolutely stunning play!
I honestly, sincerely hope his move to Miami elevates the whole of MLS
This is like LeBron playing in the G league bro obviously Messi is ganna smoke in America soccer lol
@RumaInter Miami with Lionel Messi could be the deadliest force to reckoned with in 2024 FIFA CWC!
@Pat Bwell obviously u r r8, @patb216.
@Pat B I have no idea what G league is but what I mean is that I hope Messi’s signing creates a snowball effect in football in states, more quality players joining, more viewers, more “hype” in a longer time line
La calidad y el profesionalismo de Messi, hace contagiar a sus compañeros y los hará crecer como jugadores, con 36 años, sigue siendo el mejor de todos 🇦🇷
My favorite part of the match was the constant smile on Messi’s face. Nothing is better than seeing people having fun and enjoying themselves.
Me too love the way Messi constantly smiling.
I thought i watched the Oppenheimer movie But no it was Messis first games in Miami. Instant Booooooom
bot
CR might have gotten a bigger bag, but he’s playing where nobody gives af lmao. ALL eyes on Messi in Florida and the best part is he too is having fun playing for Miami.
So great
I have watched a lot of MLS over the decades. Legendary players go to MLS and they want the money and think it so going to be a cakewalk (it’s top ten in the world but right now miles away from joining the Big Five).
What they soon realize is that they are having fun like they were kids again playing soccer. It’s pure. Less of a spotlight, less pressure, more fun. Just get out there and play.
I’ve seen it so many times. They go to MLS and suddenly they won’t stop smiling.
Can we just appreciate the fact that Robert Taylor has as many goals and assists in the last 2 games (3G1A) as Messi (3G1A) Taylor has been playing pretty well as well. And Messi is just Messi. Also that pass from Busquets to Messi for the first goal was ridiculously smooth. I can’t stop rewatching that.
Messi and Taylor both played equally impressive.
You can tell Messi is happier here than in PSG, the impact he has on the game is insane, not just for the plays he does, but for the effect he has on his teammates, everyone wants to show off by the GOAT’S side. 💪👏
People go to PSG for an easy paycheck
Agreed!
He was that happy when he joined he even scored a free kick in his first few games. Let’s see in a few months
@Synk the thing is PSG fans were never happy with him, neither the French press. Here in the US they treat him the right way you should treat a GOAT. Also he’s not competing anymore, this is like backyard football for him. No offenses. 👍
even an unhappy Messi scores 30 goals in MLS man…. he would have to be 50 years old and a wooden leg for that not to happen anymore 😂
even my grandmother scores in MLS…
It doesn’t matter where Messi plays, he always takes the Magic with him.
Yes but it also depends on the environment around him. At PSG, he was never able to shine like this.
Edit: for those thinking I’m hating, I’m not. I’ve always been a Messi fan, just stating my observation that he wasn’t able to play so freely and expansively as he is now, when compared to at PSG. And we all know the reasons why. But it’s only been 2 games so it’s hard to tell how this will pan out.
@Umar Mohammed 100% agree. PSG had so many superstar players, but they never acted like a team. Messi, being all about team play, was never able to play his style of futbol at PSG. Over the past couple games, he looks genuinely happy, which makes me happy.
@Umar Mohammed PSG was about the worst “superstar” team I’ve seen in my life. Zero cohesion. Not Messi’s fault by any means. That team was an absolute disaster almost from the start.
@Xyrolinxmagic is magic why not take it to psg just sounds like cope 😩 messi is just in mls
Messi at Barca stunned me and the rest of the world as we watched the GOAT emerge.
Messi at PSG made me sad leaving Barca and being treated how he was by the French.
Messi at Miami reunited with Busi, scoring goals, having fun, and loved by the fans makes me happy.
We love Messi in France and in Paris, a lot of Barcelona fans are in France 😉
@ToumMessi in MLS is far more beloved than in PSG.
PSG I feel were super haters against South American players. They showed no respect
Paris is a cesspool of people, Messi will be 100 times happier in Miami
Soy colombiano pero la verdad me alegra ver a messi de nuevo ser figura en el equipo❤❤❤
From how he plays and carries the team, we can see he truly understands the game and tries his best to help those around him to improve. We need such ppl not only in football, but literally everywhere in our life.
