‘INCREDIBLE!!!!,’ wrote James, who witnessed the moment of magic in-person. Mahomes added ‘wild man!’, followed by a goat emoji, also used by The King.

McAfee had a different choice of emoji, opting for a litany of them before jokingly asking ‘Messi’s the real deal huh??’

NFL Network stars Eisen and Rapoport have seen their fair share of greatness on the gridiron, but made sure to appreciate Messi’s brilliance.

‘What an entrance,’ Eisen said. While Rapoport wrote to his followers; ‘So good it’s comical. What a wizard.’

YouTuber, Speed, is well-known as a diehard Cristiano Ronaldo fan but promised to change his allegiance to Messi if he scored the last-second free kick.

Speed proved to be a man of his word, taking off a Portugal No. 7 jersey while in celebration, to reveal a No. 10 Inter Miami shirt with Messi’s name on the back.

Longtime U.S. soccer pundit Alexi Lalas chimed in with a joke; ‘Kid’s gonna be good.’

It was expected that Messi would get around 30 minutes but he played more than that, entering minutes after the second half began, with Miami leading 1-0.

And it didn’t take long for him to show just why his signing was so celebrated by Miami and MLS, as he buzzed around the pitch and slipped in his teammates behind the defense multiple times.

Cruz Azul would tie the game in the 65th minute, but there was ultimately too much time left for Messi’s heroics as the home side won.
