After Inter Miami went ahead courtesy of Facundo Farias, fans witnessed the magic of Messi in the 37th minute. He picked up the ball from the edge of the box, took on two to three players, and passed the ball to his teammate. After playing a one-two with him, Messi dribbled past another defender, only for his shot to be saved by John McCarthy.
The sheer easiness of how he left past defenders was astonishing. Hence, Gomez couldn’t believe what she just witnessed. She popped her eyes out, mesmerized by the Argentinean’s dazzling skills on the ball.

Most fans resonated with Selena as one pointed out, “That was all of us” while another fan understood why you should bring cameras to Inter Miami matches. The fan stated, “Messi is that footballer that when is feet touches that ball, you gotta whip out that phone camera asap!”
Are Messi’s matches turning into a celebrity parade?
While celebrities attend the event, some purists of the game wonder why the cameras focus on them rather than the match in itself. Most times, they put the shocked reactions of celebrities when Messi scores a goal or does a trick. Therefore, one fan pointed out that he wanted to watch the game rather than the celebrities. The fan commented, “Enough of these artists. I tuned in to watch fútbol.”
