The world knows Lionel Messi as the soccer legend who electrifies stadiums. More than that, beneath the golden boots and magnificent goals, lies a heart rich with kindness and humanity. One major incident that proves the Argentine superstar’s kindness is how he treated a 21-year-old Inter-Miami star. The sweet gestures from the soccer legend made the youngster numb and speechless.

In Messi’s first game with Inter-Miami, a young player from the team had to leave the match in the first half because of a serious injury. Following this, Messi ensured the surging player would be treated with absolute love and kindness. Let’s find out what actions of Messi made him numb.

The sweet gesture of Lionel Messi

For Messi’s debut Inter-Miami match against the New York Red Bulls, Ian Fray was beyond thrilled, as it was his dream to play with the soccer legend. However, things took an unexpected turn when he had to leave the game after suffering a terrible left anterior cruciate ligament injury. Interestingly, Inter-Miami ended up winning the match after scoring two magnificent goals, and following this, Messi dedicated the victory to Fray.

Additionally, the Argentine also held the young soccer star’s jersey in his hands and posed with the Inter-Miami team for a snap. Regarding this sweet gesture of the legend, the 21-year-old said to Fox Sports, “I saw the photo of him and the guys with my jersey, holding it up in the locker room. At that point, I couldn’t cry anymore. I was just numb.”

The defender added that even if he was a global sensation, Messi didn’t forget to think about him. According to Fray, this proves the greatness of the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, not only as a legendary player but also as a kind human.

The kind words of the soccer legend

After Fray was out of the Inter-Miami Leagues Cup match, Noah Allen substituted him, and the contest continued. This incident mentally crushed the young star, as it was his childhood dream to play with Lionel Messi. Realizing his admiration after the match, Messi explained to the MLS Espanol reporter, “Let me dedicate this victory to Ian, who was suffering in the locker room from the injury he sustained.“
