His dream was on a balance when he signed for Inter Miami, a club that was remarkably shrinking and on a spectacular fall. The club had not won any match out of more than a dozen they tried, and hope was dwindling. The club was clueless, but the owner’s look out for a savior clicked and Messi was signed.
When signing Messi, his former team mate, Kun Aguero had reacted to the league position of Inter Miami that kept getting worse each day, commenting that Messi has a lofty work to do. Others doubted Messi’s magic, saying the potency of his wand had reduced and can’t shoulder the desires of the people at Inter Miami. Boom! The arguably greatest footballer of all time delivered.

Despite the tribulations and boos at PSG, Messi was able to win 3 titles with the club, scoring the goal that won his first title with PSG. He went on to score 16 goals and made 16 assist the next season, sealing the French League Cup.
