Lionel Messi has a very strong case to be the best soccer player of all time. He has won league and European championships, the Ballon d'Or seven times and recently added a World Cup title. He's 36 years old and decided to head to semi-retirement in Major League Soccer. He seems like a genuinely good guy who turned down millions from the Saudis to come and energize the MLS.
Last night, he made his debut for Inter Miami and won the game in stoppage time with a perfectly placed free kick.
What was so awesome about was not the consummate skill that he's shown for decades of playing in Spain and France.
It was the celebration. These games shouldn't mean anything to someone who's won everything the game can throw at him.
Still joyous.
