What did Lionel Messi say after Inter Miami debut?
Lionel Messi came on as a 54th-minute substitute in the Leagues Cup showdown against Liga MX side Cruz Azul at the DRV PNK Stadium, with his team 1-0 up.
However, Cruz Azul found an equaliser in the 65th minute. Messi, though, had the final say, netting a spectacular free-kick in the 94th minute to win the game for his new side.
Following his stellar display, Messi said in his post-match interview (via SPORTbible):
"What I saw was the goal. I saw the goal, I knew I had to score. It was the last play of the game, and I wanted to score so we didn’t go to penalties. It was very important for us to get this win because in the tournament it’s going to give us confidence moving forward."
Manager Gerardo Martino, meanwhile, summed up the debut performance perfectly (via GOAL):
"It’s a movie that we have seen before. It’s common for him, you know. It looks absolutely normal, but it’s not … we’re speaking about the GOAT."
Inter Miami will be back in action on Tuesday (July 26) when they take on Atlanta United in their second Leagues Cup clash, where Messi is expected to start.
