Lionel Messi strikes a sensational last-gasp free kick

With LeBron James, Serena Williams, and other luminaries watching, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner makes a dream start for David Beckham's MLS side; former Barcelona and Paris St-Germain great converts injury-time set-piece to seal 2-1 win. Seven months after winning the World Cup, the footballing world's attention was focused on Florida as the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner made his long-awaited debut.

Messi's Miami debut took years to come together, but it was well worth the wait. After Uriel Antuna cancelled out Robert Taylor's stunning opener, the 36-year-old struck at the death to send DRV PNK Stadium into a frenzy and seal an incredible 2-1 Leagues Cup victory. "What I saw was the goal," Messi stated in an on-field interview following the game. "I noticed the goal. I knew I needed to score because it was the last play of the game and I didn't want to go to penalties."

"It's a movie that we've seen before," Inter Miami head coach Tata Martino, who supervised Messi at Barcelona, remarked. It was the dream end to an evening that attracted fans of all ages in 'Messi 10' shirts, with stars like LeBron James, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian and, of course, Inter Miami owner David Beckham among those in the sold-out, expectant crowd.
