Lionel Messi interview immediately after Inter Miami debut free-kick sums him up

Lionel Messi was interviewed immediately after scoring a last-gasp free-kick on his Inter Miami debut to earn a dramatic victory for his new team against Cruz Azul

Lionel Messi was the hero with a last-gasp free-kick on his Inter Miami debut – and his immediate reaction summed him up.

The Argentinian superstar curled a sensational strike into the top corner to see his team snatch a 2-1 win against Cruz Azul despite being second best for much of the game. It sparked bedlam at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale and left co-owner David Beckham visibly emotional.

Messi’s moment of magic came after he won a free-kick just outside the box in the dying seconds. With the eyes of the world on him, he stepped up and delivered like he has done on so many occasions around the world to mark a dream start to life in America.

After the game, he was interviewed on Apple TV via a translator and explained how he knew it was down to him to earn his side a win – before doing exactly that.
