That free kick by Lionel Messi (36) was great yesterday in the Leagues Cup against Dallas. Although there was also a remarkable skill that preceded it. New images show that the Argentinian put the ball a little more to the center no less than five times in order to create a better position for him. Clever and cunning, the referee had nothing to do with it.

It’s still a fantastic goal. But there was a devious trick that preceded it. While the referee busied himself with putting the Dallas wall at the right distance, Messi prepared for his free-kick.
But not without first moving the ball 1, 2, 3, 4, even 5 times. And so to lay more to the center. As a result, he created a better position to curl in directly. That’s how it happened. The ball went over the wall and almost perfectly into the top corner. The 4-4, which forced Inter Miami to penalty kicks in extremis. It put down a perfect five out of five, Dalles missed. This is how the Florida club pushed through. Charlotte FC – Brecht Dejaegere’s new club – or Houston Dynamo FC awaits in the next round.
LOOK. Coach Inter Miami: “Luckily we have Messi”
Dallas coach Nico Estévez expressed the free kick as follows after the match: “When Messi runs for a free kick, you can only do one thing: pray. (laughs) And hope he stumbles.” Estévez probably didn’t know that the Argentinian top player stole about a meter in his favour.

Afterwards there was only praise for Messi. Again. Messi has seven goals in four games since his arrival in Florida more than two weeks ago. He also scored the opening goal against Dallas. Messi opened the scoring with a well-placed kick from outside the box. The assist was from Jordi Alba, his ex-mate at FC Barcelona and now reunited. His American entrance has been more than successful.

Dallas players want their picture taken with Messi
After the game, incidentally, there are still striking scenes there in the Toyota Stadium. The Dallas players wanted their picture taken with Messi one by one, as if they were fans finally getting a selfie with their football idol. And so it was a bit. “I accomplished one of my biggest dreams today,” said Dallas winger Alan Velasco, also an Argentinian. “Being on the pitch with Messi was a surreal experience.”
