It is one of the great surprises of this start to the club World Cup. While many feared to see Lionel Messi and the Miami ridiculized, due to the supposed level of MLS clubs, the Floridian franchise, invited by FIFA, is still undefeated after its first two matches in group A.
Four days after a drain draw against the Egyptian team of Al-Ahly (0-0), at the opening of the competition, the Inter Miami offered the scalp of FC Porto on Thursday (2-1), a club referenced in Europe. Telasco Segovia first allowed his family to equalize (1-1, 47e), then “the pulga” sealed the scoring on a sublime free kick (2-1, 54e).
A draw against Palmeiras, which also has 4 points, will therefore be enough for the club possessed by David Beckham to see the knockout stages, which would be a great performance. The Argentinian world champion, he takes the opportunity to enter a little more in history. This 68e Carel in a career allows him to get closer to Pelé.
Lionel Messi close to overtaking Cristiano Ronaldo
The Brazilian “king” had scored 70, the record in the matter belonging to Juninho with 77 goals in the exercise. Lionel Messi 37, will he go to seek this record? It is not impossible. And this is not the only brand he could drop. The octuple Ballon d'Or is indeed very close to erase Cristiano Ronaldo from the tablets!
By scoring the Portuguese, the former Barcelona and Parisian brought his total to 6 goals at the World Cups, all editions combined. Here it is at the same level as Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, relays the account @Statsdufoot On X (formerly Twitter). He lacks only one to join his eternal rival “CR7”.
