Jordi Alba, made an acrobatic leap to blindly center Sergio Busquet’s cross back pass to Messi. The 36-year-old star dribbled through three defenders and side-footed the ball to Benjamin Cremaschi. The 18-year-old American one-touched the ball back and Messi sprinted toward goal and let it bounce in off his left foot from in front.
Chants of “We Want Messi!” began in the sixth minute and a loud “Mes-si!” “Mes-si!” reverberated throughout in the 35th. Diego Gómez, a 20-year-old Paraguayan forward among four Miami starters making MLS debuts, scored in the 37th minute.
Inter Miami manager Gerardo Martino has admitted it might happen ahead of the game. He even revealed it will happen more next year, when he is a year older and needs more careful management.
“We will assess further after this evening’s training,” Martino had said.
