After the match, Messi expressed his joy at starting his Major League Soccer journey with a victory, emphasizing the significance of winning the championship in good form.

The atmosphere at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale was electric, with pink smoke bombs lighting up the sky behind the goal, and some ecstatic fans even invaded the pitch to celebrate Messi’s goal, later being escorted away by security.

The excitement surrounding Messi’s arrival began on Sunday, when he was officially introduced to the fans in a packed stadium in south Florida.

Having only trained with his new team-mates for the first time on Tuesday, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner wasted no time showcasing his incredible skills on the field.

Previously, Messi had a successful stint with Paris St-Germain, scoring 32 goals in 75 games during his two-year spell with the French club after departing from Barcelona.

Despite receiving lucrative offers from other countries, he chose to play in the United States and join Inter Miami, adding more star power to the burgeoning Major League Soccer.

The impact of Messi’s arrival on the league and his new team is already evident, and fans are eagerly anticipating what he will bring to the American soccer scene.

Nunez’s crucial moment came in the form of a penalty kick in the second half. Just before Nunez stepped up to take the penalty, Virgil van Dijk briefly held the ball and appeared as though he might take the spot-kick himself. This momentary delay allowed Nunez to maintain his composure and focus on the task at hand.

Van Dijk also emphasized the significance of the mental aspect of these high-pressure moments in matches, highlighting the importance of maintaining one’s composure and mental fortitude when facing critical situations.

He said: “You have to make sure you protect at least the penalty spot. It’s a bit of a mind game there – maybe they were going to try and get in your head.

“It was always the plan that Darwin was going to take it, and I’m glad he scored.”

Van Dijk additionally added that Nunez is beginning to show the world what’s really going on with him:

“Darwin was very important for us against LASK and long may it continue. Up front, the competition is quite good.”

“They all have to push each other and it’s good to see. Everyone has a role to play whether you start or not. Everyone has now seen the potential and the quality he has.”
