The US Soccer Scene is Revolutionized with Lionel Messi’s Arrival to the MLS

The news of Lionel Messi’s confirmation of joining David Beckham’s team, Inter Miami, has revolutionized the football scene in the US. While Europe’s football stars typically join the MLS in the twilight of their careers, Messi’s arrival is expected to increase the quality and visibility of the competition, making it a more competitive championship in the soccer world.

Zelarayán’s Midfield Goal Aims to Grab Messi’s Attention

While soccer fans anticipate Messi’s arrival, Lucas Zelarayán, a fellow Argentine and MLS player, scored a sensational last-minute goal in a game between Columbus Crew and Chicago Fire. After grabbing a ball at the central circle of the field, Zelarayán saw the goalkeeper move forward, and he shot a missile to the bow that landed right in the net, giving Columbus Crew a victory over Chicago Fire. Zelarayán’s hope is that his goal will attract Messi’s attention and give him a level of confidence that the MLS has a competitive level.

6th in the Eastern Conference

Columbus Crew’s victory against Chicago Fire has placed them in sixth place in the MLS Eastern Conference, the same conference where Inter Miami competes. The competition in this conference has become more challenging with the arrival of Lionel Messi and Zelarayán’s impressive goal.
