Messi’s Selfless Act Leaves Fans in Awe: The Argentine Maestro’s Latest Feat
Lionel Messi’s incredible form shows no signs of slowing down, and his latest achievement has left fans reeling. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has been on fire since joining Inter Miami in August 2023, and his latest hat-trick in a 6-2 thrashing of New England Revolution has left fans in a state of ecstasy.
With 20 goals in 19 Major League Soccer (MLS) appearances in 2024, Messi is not only leading the charge in terms of goalscoring, but also providing assists at an incredible rate, with ten in the league so far. His impressive form has yielded a staggering 30 goal involvements in the space of just 19 games.
But it’s not just his on-field exploits that have impressed – Messi’s humility and sportsmanship have stolen the show. Despite being the captain of Inter Miami, he opted to let ‘keeper Drake Callender lift the MLS Supporters’ Shield, a testament to his selfless nature.
Callender, who has been with the club since 2020, has made a whopping 89 appearances in the league, making him the record holder. Fans took to social media to hail Messi’s magnanimity, with one user joking, "I’ll deactivate if Ronaldo does this in Al Nassr." Another praised the Argentine’s humility, saying, "Beyond being the GOAT, man is a great teacher of values and respect."
Cristiano Ronaldo, often mentioned in the same breath as Messi, was the subject of some playful jabs from fans, with one tweeter quipping, "Ronaldo would never be this humble." Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham echoed the sentiment, hailing Messi’s leadership as a key factor in the team’s success.
The news gets even better for Inter Miami fans, as FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced that the club will participate in the newly reformed FIFA Club World Cup, set to take place in June 2025. This promises to be a competition nobody will want to miss, with top clubs like Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and more set to clash in Miami.
