Lionel Messi Almost Scores Spectacular Goal in Inter Miami’s Preseason Match
Lionel Messi, the world-famous Argentine footballer, has been the center of attention during the start of Inter Miami’s preseason ahead of the 2024 season in the MLS. The anticipation was high during the team’s second friendly match against FC Dallas as fans were eager to witness the extraordinary skills of the world champion. Spectators were looking forward to seeing Messi in action, especially after rumors that he was about to score a great goal.
The friendly match, held at the Cotton Bowl in Texas, witnessed a massive turnout of fans who were eager to see the two teams in action. The excitement was palpable, especially with the prospect of witnessing Messi, who recently secured victory at Qatar 2022, scoring a remarkable goal.
However, it was not to be as FC Dallas took the lead early on, with Jesus Ferreira scoring in the third minute. Despite Inter Miami’s efforts to equalize, including a close attempt by Messi from a corner kick, the team was unable to find the back of the net. The timely action of FC Dallas’ goalkeeper, Maarten Paes, thwarted Messi’s attempt, leaving Inter Miami with no goals in two consecutive games.
The next challenge for Inter Miami will be against Al Hilal, where they will face Brazilian star Neymar, who is recovering from a knee injury. Subsequently, the team will also play against Al Nassr, setting the stage for a potential clash between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The anticipation for Messi’s exceptional performance continues to grow as fans eagerly await his next opportunity to shine on the field, driving the excitement for the upcoming 2024 MLS season.
