Messi couldn’t imagine that the Inter Miami star’s clumsiness would harm a poor little girl.
In Inter Miami’s most recent match, Messi shined with a double goal against Orlando City. This is Messi’s second double against this opponent and the fourth time the Argentine star has scored a double in an American team shirt. In addition to Messi, Luis Suarez also scored 2 goals in Inter Miami’s 5-0 destruction.
However, that is not all the highlights of the match considered El Clasico of MLS. A situation where Messi missed the goal attracted special attention. This video is spreading rapidly on social networks and is being discussed by viewers.
The rare situation took place in the final minutes of the match between Inter Miami and Orlando City. The clock turned to minute 90+1 and the referee awarded the home team a direct free kick near the penalty area. Messi took responsibility for the free kick with the ambition of scoring to increase the score to 6-0.
However, Messi’s left-foot free kick sent the ball over the bar. The ball flew straight into the stands at Chase Stadium and fell on a 3-year-old girl. This is an adorable little fan of Inter Miami, she wears an Inter Miami away jersey, sucks a pacifier and wears a pink bow.
The little girl cried out of fear when she became cannon fodder for Messi’s shot. In the video recording this scene, her father tried his best to comfort his daughter in a very special way. The father clearly looked worried when he asked: “Are you okay, my baby?” Next, he tried to calm his daughter’s fear: “It’s okay, Messi kicked the ball at mom, not at you, nothing happened.”
Fortunately, Messi’s free kick was not too strong, so the girl was not hurt. The match ended without any unfortunate incidents occurring.
With the victory over Orlando City, Messi and his teammates continue to lead the MLS Eastern Conference rankings. Inter Miami’s next match will be a trip to Nasvhille in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
