The San Jose Earthquakes faced Inter Miami in a thrilling 3-3 match that highlighted the impact of Lionel Messi on MLS games. Players like Beau Leroux expressed how astonishing it was to play against a soccer legend, calling it a dream come true. Coach Bruce Arena acknowledged Messi's influence and even intervened to ensure Messi didn’t get a red card after the match. The game attracted a sold-out crowd, marking a significant moment for the Earthquakes in the 2025 season, underscoring Messi's drawing power.
It's definitely a crazy feeling, seeing him for the first time up close and personal. Seeing him on the field that close is a blessing. I mean, this is a dream come true.
So much so that he went out of his way to help shepherd the Argentine legend off the field after the game... for him to get a red card at the end of the game would have been ridiculous.
