Lionel Messi delivered the perfect blow to Nashville fans chanting Cristiano Ronaldo’s name, scoring a goal 14 seconds after they tweeted.
The Inter Miami striker struck from the edge of the box to give Inter Miami a 2-0 lead and crush any “Ronaldo, Ronaldo” chants as the Nashville mob fell silent.
Messi had already helped Luis Suarez and Robert Taylor would go on to add another goal as Inter Miami advanced to the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
This 3-1 win (5-3 on aggregate) increased Messi’s chances of lifting the North American version of the Champions League and he will face Mexican side Monterrey in the quarter-finals.
The Argentine made a smooth transition to US soccer, scoring 16 goals in 19 appearances and establishing an impressive partnership with Suarez.
