When a footballer faces his childhood club, his past becomes a dreamy multiplicity. One such night was presented by Lionel Messi’s childhood club Newell’s Old Boys and current club Inter Miami. These two teams met in a friendly match.
Messi’s dream moment was captured at Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium. However, Newell’s Boys and Miami drew 1-1 in the match. This match was memorable not only for Messi but also for Miami coach Gerardo Martino. He is the most capped player in the history of Newell’s Old Boys.
It was conceivable that this match would have spectators across the gallery. At the same time, hearing that Messi will play, the number increased several times. Around this match Messi was called ‘King’ and ‘High King’ was posted on Newell’s X (formerly Twitter) account.
Messi was on the field for 60 minutes in the match. However, the Miami star could not show anything. A number of scoring opportunities have also been received. Couldn’t use the opportunity to take a shot from a good position in the 31st minute. After 6 minutes, he could not keep the ball in place even from the free kick.
Miami scored after Messi went up. Luis Suarez, Gressel and Martino who took Campana, Sunderland and Borgelin on the field. Sneijder Borgelin scored a great header from the corner just 4 minutes after entering the field. Then Franco Diaz of Newells equalized in the 83rd minute.
Miami ended the MLS pre-season with this match. Messi’s team played a total of 7 matches in the preparatory phase of the season, losing 4, drawing two and winning the other.
