Since the arrival of Lionel Messi in Florida, Inter Miami appears transfigured thanks to the 36-year-old striker and his old friends from FC Barcelona, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. This Sunday, the three friends once again lit up the country of soccer with their futbol by defeating the defending champion, Los Angeles FC, on their lawn (3-1), under the eyes of a slew of stars (Leonardo di Caprio, Prince Harry, Selena Gomez…) came to attend the sporting attraction of the moment.
David Beckham’s franchise, which had not recorded any victory in its last eleven Championship matches before Messi’s arrival, is now riding a series of 11 games without defeats. And after the Argentinian’s first draw with the Herons last Thursday, the latter reacted perfectly against LAFC.
Alba opens its counter
Following a 100% Argentinian opener, Facundo Farias taking advantage of an offering from Tomas Aviles, Jordi Alba scored the first goal of his career in MLS on a pass from Messi. The Pulga repeated late in the game for Leonardo Campana, before Ryan Hollingshead saved the honor for the Wings in the 90th minute.
Miami is still in 14th place in the Eastern Conference but is eight points behind ninth place, qualifying for the play-offs, with two games less. The next meeting of the men in pink will take place on Saturday 9, on their lawn, against Sporting Kansas City of former Nice midfielder Rémi Walter.
