David Beckham was on the verge of tears as Lionel Messi curled in a stunning free-kick on his Inter Miami debut. The fans at DRV PNK Stadium got exactly what they paid for on Friday night, as the greatest player ever to set foot in the United States produced his magic
Just when it looked like Messi's debut would end in disappointment, the Argentine won a free-kick with seconds left to play.
It was a free-kick that was made for Messi, and at a point in the game that no other player in world soccer would be better equipped for. Robert Taylor's opening goal for Miami was ruled out by Uriel Antuna of Cruz Azul, but Messi had the final say.
His free-kick went straight into the top corner to secure a 2-1 win in The Leagues Cup opener, and the crowd went wild. All those in attendance will never forget Messi's debut, and Beckham looked on in disbelief.

The likes of Tom Brady, LeBron James, and Kim Kardashian were all in attendance for Messi's debut and were treated to a real spectacle. The sell-out stadium had to wait until 51 minutes for Messi's introduction, as the new signing started on the bench.
But he was met with one of the loudest cheers ever heard in Miami, as he and former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets came on together. Messi had a few efforts on goal but saved his best attempt for last.
Messi had a penalty claim turned down by the referee but won a free-kick deep into added time in prime territory. The whole stadium held their breath as he stepped up and struck the ball with his left foot, but the end result was expected
