In the 32nd round of the regular season of the American Professional League held on October 3rd, Messi’s double helped Inter Miami secure a narrow 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew, clinching the team’s first-ever regular-season championship title two rounds ahead of schedule.
After the game, when teammate Frey was interviewed by reporters and asked about “Messi’s influence,” he said, “I am an American born and raised. To be honest, football is the most popular sport in the United States, but now I can see people everywhere wearing Inter Miami jerseys and Messi jerseys. Without Messi, none of this would have happened. He is the only one in the entire US who could accomplish this.”
When asked, “Who would you dedicate tonight’s championship to,” Frey responded, “I dedicate it to Messi. He scored two goals. Honestly, without him, we wouldn’t be standing here today.”
