Just days after the heartbreaking passing of his father, Jorge Messi, Lionel Messi returned to the pitch for Inter Miami, carrying the weight of an unimaginable loss. Jorge was not only Messi’s father, but also a key figure throughout his football journey, supporting him from his earliest days in Argentina to becoming a global superstar.
Against Philadelphia Union, Messi produced a moment that football fans will never forget. In the 26th minute, the Argentine broke away from his marker before calmly finishing with his left foot, putting Inter Miami ahead.
