Lionel Messi scored for the first time in the new year. His team Inter Miami also tasted victory. However, the style of celebrating the goal of the Argentinian superstar is overriding everything.
In the first match of the pre-season preparation, the United States team defeated Club America by 32 goals in a tiebreaker on Sunday morning, Bangladesh time. miami The main match ended in a 22-2 draw.
Messi equalized for Miami two minutes after falling behind in the 31st minute of the match in Las Vegas. Argentina’s World Cup-winning forward headed home Luis Suarez’s cross. There was a celebration with his teammates afterward, but he celebrated in a way he’s not usually seen.
Looking at the Mexican team’s gallery of supporters, he first held up two hands, then turned around and pointed to his jersey number, then held up three fingers. He pointed to zero with his finger. Many believe that he meant that Argentina has three World Cup trophies, while Mexico has zero. After the goal, the record eight-time Ballon d’Or winner responded to that.
Since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Messi and the Mexicans have not had a good relationship. After an unexpected loss against Saudi Arabia in the first match of that tournament, the Mexico match became a battle of survival for Argentina. After a scoreless first half, Messi led the team with a goal. Later, Argentina won by 20 points with Enso Fernandez’s goal. Later in the final, they beat France to become champions for the third time, and Messi tasted World Cup victory for the first time.
