Messi’s particular gesture for Campana before Inter Miami’s goal against DC United
Inter Miami achieved an agonizing victory in the MLS that allows it to remain at the top of the Eastern Conference. In the 93rd minute of the match against DC United at Chase Stadium, Sergio Busquets threw the ball from the middle of the field to Leonardo Campana, who beat his defender in the race and then finished with a strong right hand to make it 1- 0 for Lionel Messi’s team.
Beyond the fantastic resolution of the Ecuadorian striker, a video went viral in which you can see the gestures of the Rosario star seconds before the scorer scores the goal for Tata Martino’s team. On the X account (formerly Twitter) Messi Xtra, which follows the actions of the captain of the Argentine team, they highlighted how the number 10 asks his teammate to make a move to jump the mark.
In the images of the official transmission, to which they added zoom to appreciate the action in more detail, you can see Messi even signaling him with his arm to pass behind. While that was happening, the other player who appeared on the scene was Luis Suárez. The Uruguayan striker managed to look at Campana while, almost at the same time, he told Busquets to throw the ball to his side.
The culmination of the play was brilliant. After the long pass from the former Barcelona midfielder, Campana controlled the ball with his left leg and as it was spicy, he executed a strong shot that beat DC United goalkeeper Alex Bono, hit the crossbar and went into the goal for the goal. celebration of all those present in Miami.
Once the duel against the franchise from the capital of the United States ended, Martino took stock of the victory his team achieved in the final seconds. When asked if the result had been fair, the former Newell’s coach said: “No, I think it was the product of an individual who scored a goal from another game… A minute ago Drake (Callender) had saved us and we could have lost it. The tie was good because DC hadn’t gotten very far until that play, neither had we. We lacked more dynamics in the circulation.”

“They put together a line of five and another of four that was very close and intense. We couldn’t find between the lines and when they took off with those on the side they were dangerous. 0-0 was what this match should be,” Tata added.
After the goalless equality in the Clásico del Sol against Orlando City without Messi, the franchise that has David Beckham as one of its owners was able to win again and remain at the top of the standings with 31 points, a unity in front of its runner-up Cincinnati -total 30-, which this Saturday beat St. Louis City 3-1 for matchday 14 of the 2024 Major League Soccer season.
How does Las Garzas’ path continue in the championship? Next Saturday they will face the Vancouver Whitecaps in Canada from 11:30 p.m. (Argentine time), in Messi’s second visit to the North American country.
“It is the third game we played during the week, we could start to feel a little tired, we come from two away games. The team was not dynamic and precise enough to be able to solve DC’s very good defense. I find that we have not been fit to play this match, but I also do not want to detract from all the good things that the rival did defensively,” Martino added in his analysis, before pointing out the value of having added a victory thinking about what is to come. and the absence of footballers that Inter Miami will have in the coming weeks.
“The three points are celebrated because it is very valuable because of what we always talk about: what the team needs to continue adding to when the FIFA date, the Copa América and the Olympic Games come,” concluded the Argentine coach.
