- Kardashian in the crowd
- Messi came on as a sub
- Beat Cruz Azul 2-1 in the Leagues Cup
WHAT HAPPENED? Kim Kardashian and her two sons, Saint and Psalm, were present as Messi came off the bench to make his Inter Miami debut, before scoring an utterly superb 94th minute free-kick to give his new side a 2-1 win over Cruz Azul. After the game, in a somewhat awkward moment, Kardashian's two sons grabbed a selfie with Messi, and even kept Beckham waiting to give his congratulations to his new signing as they fiddled with their phones.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Messi enjoyed a lengthy hug with Beckham after the game, as the Inter Miami owner celebrated with the club's biggest-ever signing. He will hope the World Cup-winner can continue sprinkling stardust on the team, with the club currently rock-bottom of the Major League Soccer Eastern Conference.
WHAT NEXT? Inter Miami play Atlanta United in midweek in their second Leagues Cup game.
