Lionel Messi will be ready to entertain Inter Miami fans when Javier Mascherano’s side will play their first MLS game of the season against New York City FC on their home ground. The Argentine superstar will be pumped up after a winning goal in his coldest game of his career.

Lionel Messi made a mid-air dribble while running backwards and scored the goal against Sporting KC in CONCACAF Champions Cup opener. In temperatures as cold as -13C, Messi’s goal made a poetic justice for the critics who always targeted him to not score in snow conditions.
