Lionel Messi‘s ‘Noche d’Or’ goes wrong! Argentine superstar left red-faced as Inter Miami lose NYCFC friendly organised to celebrate Ballon d’Or triumph | Goal.com Cameroon appeared on www.goal.com by Soham Mukherjee.
Lionel Messi‘s ‘Noche d’Or’ ends in disappointment as Inter Miami lose New York City FC friendly organized to celebrate Ballon d’Or triumph.
- ‘Noche d’Or’ intended for Messi’s Ballon d’Or celebration
- Miami lost 2-1 to NYCFC
- Messi, Busquets, Alba feature in disappointing result
WHAT HAPPENED? In a tribute game to celebrate Messi’s record-extending eighth Ballon d’Or, the Herons suffered a 2-1 loss to their familiar MLS rivals. The ‘Noche d’Or’ or “Golden Night” friendly was organized by MLS and aimed to provide Messi with a proper celebration with the fans as he presented his Golden Ball trophy to the Miami faithful.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Despite starting star players like Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, Miami were outplayed which dampened the spirit at Fort Lauderdale after the final whistle. Fans, expecting to witness a celebration, were disappointed as NYCFC took control, with Talles Magno and Julian Fernandez scoring for the visitors while substitute Robert Robinson got a consolation goal for Miami.
Fernandez, the 19-year-old talent from Argentina, stole the spotlight as Messi was left a frustrated figure in attack. However, the match also served as a preparation for Messi for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil during the November international break after Miami’s China tour was cancelled due to “unforeseen circumstances”.
