Lionel Messi Struggles While Facing Hurricane Challenge for the First Time During Inter Miami vs DC United


Inter Miami are currently underway in the Matchday 14 of their MLS clash against DC United. Both sides are tussling for the crucial three points at the Chase Stadium yet the score remains in a stalemate. Although the match was called to be delayed after a major hurricane hit Fort Lauderdale, it was later resumed. But even though the storm returned, the referee decided to keep the play, forcing Lionel Messi to experience something he never did before. 

People often questioned the Argentinian superstar whether he would be able to do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke. Well, in tonight’s game, the Miami superstar might have done more than that. This was the first time in over the span of his two-decade career that Messi was playing in the middle of a hurricane. As the match wasn’t halted due to the adverse weather conditions, the play continued as players struggled to keep the ball moving fluidly. 

Everyone on the pitch is literally wet with their jerseys soaking. One moment saw Messi preparing for a free kick in the hope of finding a winner. Unfortunately, not just the rain but heavy winds blowing across the stadium led the 8x Ballon d’Or winner to fire the ball on DC United’s defensive wall instead.
