Pre-season preparation. This match is nothing big. But the battle of Newell’s Old Boys with Inter Miami became very important because of Lionel Messi!
Newwells Old Boys is Messi’s childhood club. Born in Rosario, Argentina, Messi got his start in football with this club.
The little Messi who played at the Old Boys Club at the age of eight is now a world football hero. Almost all the achievements of football are now playing in the American club Inter Miami.
Spectator interest was high around the friendly match between Messi’s childhood club and current club in Florida. A mad fan even entered the field with emotion. Although the security guards did not let him approach Messi. The match ended well.
None of Messi’s two clubs lost in this much-awaited fight. The match was a draw at 1-1. However, Messi’s reunion was bigger than the win-loss in this match. After the match, some players of Old Boys are seen hugging Messi.
However, there was concern about whether Messi would play in this match due to injury. However, Argentine Khuderaj can be seen in the starting eleven. As soon as Messi landed on the field with the team through the tunnel of the stadium, the fans of both teams filled the sky with applause.
Messi played up to 60 minutes. Although he created several opportunities, he could not score. Miami got the goal four minutes after Messi went up. Shanid’s Bergelin led the team. However, Franco Martin Diaz of Old Boys equalized in the 83rd minute.
It was Inter Miami’s last match of the MLS pre-season. Messi’s team played a total of 7 matches in the preparatory phase of the season, losing 4, drawing two and winning the other.
Inter Miami will face Real Salt Lake in their first match of the new season of Major League Soccer next Wednesday.
