Lionel Messi etched his name into MLS history books on Sunday night, delivering a dramatic last-minute equalizer to salvage a 1-1 draw for Inter Miami against the LA Galaxy. In a moment of vintage brilliance, the Argentine legend showcased the enduring magic that has defined his illustrious career.
The stage was set for a thrilling encounter as Messi, donning the iconic No. 10 shirt, graced the MLS pitch for his second competitive match. The LA Galaxy, fresh with attacking firepower, posed a formidable test for the visitors.
Inter Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender heroically denied LA’s repeated attacks, including a first-half penalty, keeping Messi’s men in the game. But a late Galaxy strike looked set to condemn Inter Miami to a frustrating defeat.
That’s when Messi stepped up. Linking with longtime Barcelona teammate Jordi Alba, the duo reignited the partnership that terrorized defenses for years. With a flash of the brilliance that earned him countless titles, Messi slid in to meet Alba’s pinpoint cross, securing a point at the death.
The goal marks a historic moment for both Messi and the MLS, signaling the arrival of a true icon and hinting at the thrilling potential his presence brings to the league.
