“Flicked it Over a Dead Body” – Lionel Messi’s Never Before Seen Skills Put Injured Real Salt Lake Star To Shame Leaving Fans Frenzied

Inter Miami may have started its campaign with a goal, but not without a bit of spice. Club captain, Lionel Messi, has been very active in the opening game of the season and was not willing to hold back his play. In one such incident, the Argentine showed his insane dribbling skills. Messi, fighting for the ball, skipped two opponents and then lobbed the ball over an opponent who was lying on the ground! This has led to fans erupting with emotions on social media.

It triggered a wide range of responses. A fan felt that he was moving it over a dead body!

One person posting the clip on X felt it wasn’t funny and expressed that it could have been ‘the most gloriously disrespectful goal‘!

This fan says that Messi is using MLS as a training ground for Copa America, just like how fans felt he used PSG to train for the World Cup

A user is running through Messi’s brain and analyzing how he used the fallen player to his advantage.

Someone is ready to gift the Argentine a goal for his skills. This fan calls out the opposition person for blocking the shot.

A fan joked that he would have hung his boots if he was the one on the ground.

On the other hand, this fan showed dissent with what La Pulga had done. Dribbling past an injured player didn’t seem right. If he were the referee, Lionel Messi would have been sent off!

While most of the fan reactions were positive and jaw-dropped ones, the MLS opener suffered a referee crisis with VAR not being available. But would the presence of VAR make a difference to this dribble? Whether the PRSA referees would have called the play to a halt or not is another question, but all that’s going around is Miami’s win.

Inter Miami and Lionel Messi start the 2024 MLS on a winning note!

Apart from the pleasure of watching Lionel Messi on the field, it was a sweet outing for the Herons. The club, despite having a poor campaign in the preseason, has managed to beat Real Salt Lake 2-0, who finished 5th last year in the Western Conference. But will they stand the test of time?

David Beckham‘s team will take on his former club, the LA Galaxy, on Sunday. The five-time MLS Champions will look to take revenge against Lionel Messi, who assisted twice in their last outing. And the man from Rosario is expected to continue producing such brilliance!
