2-1! Messi s free kick magic has made a key reversal, Suarez was squirted after the game

2025 FIFA Club World Cup - Group A - Round 2

Miami International 2-1 Porto

Looking forward to Messi's magic in the Club World Cup? He staged it! In the first round of group stage, the Argentine star scored a direct free kick against Cairo nationals only a slight difference. It doesn't matter, it's just a warm-up test shot before the match against Porto. However, Miami International started extremely difficult.

At the beginning of the game, Allen knocked Mario down in the penalty area. Omorodion did not waste the penalty opportunity and scored the first record for Porto - although Ustari touched the ball. Suarezbon had a chance to equalize the score, but Lamus quickly attacked and blocked the angle, easily dissolving the Uruguayan's shot. The Portuguese goalkeeper then saved Kremaski's shot again, winning applause. However, Porto was closer to scoring the second goal than Miami International: Mora's shot was cleared by Falcone on the goal line, and Barrera's powerful shot hit the post.

The situation suddenly changed in the second half. Bang! Weigante made a cross, Segovia scored a goal, 1:1. Bang! Messi created a free kick opportunity and took the penalty himself, kicking a exquisite arc ball, and the ball went around the Portuguese wall and hung straight at the upper right corner of the goal. Classic reappearance! By the way, this goal is Messi's 50th goal for Miami International, and he only took only 61 games to reach this milestone.

Porto team was slumped after being hit. Although the shooting leads by 14:6, this didn't even bring them a draw. On June 24, Miami International will play Palmeiras, a draw will ensure they advance to the playoffs. Porto's game against Cairo Nationals has almost become a formality: they need to score as many goals as possible and hope that the competitors will not play tacit understanding.

However, after the game, many fans thought Messi was tired of Miami International's stars

fans claimed that after Miami International's FIFA Club World Cup match with Portuguese giant Porto, a star in the team was dragging down Lionel Messi and his teammates. The FA League team owned by David Beckham, reversed 2-1 to win Porto after a disappointing draw with the Cairo Nationals 0-0 in the first game, winning a crucial victory.

Messi's name appeared on the roster, and he took the lead for Miami International with his iconic free kick nearly an hour into the game. While the eight-time Golden Globe winner has contributed to helping the team take a better position in the group qualifying situation, fans have slammed a player who believes the player will continue to harm the team in the long run.

Despite Javier Mascherano's team's victory, fans quickly flocked to social media during the game, claiming that Luis Suarez is still dragging down Messi and Miami International as the striker continued to struggle in the later stages of his career.

Suarez, the player known as one of the best finishers in history, is one of several former Barcelona players who followed Messi to the United States, and the other two are Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. However, the 38-year-old has been in poor health since joining the franchise, and continued knee problems have troubled him.

While his numbers before the match against Porto looked impressive – 33 goals and 21 assists in 59 games – the forward’s acumen and influence on the game have significantly decreased in this Club World Cup. His poor performance against Cairo Nationals has been pointed out, and he has also failed to calm down critics in his match against Porto.

In the victory against Porto, Suarez only scored one shot in the whole game and missed an excellent opportunity. His pass accuracy is only 76% and he lost 11 times. However, he won 11 of 16 confrontations.

However, physical problems remain, and the Uruguayan striker sometimes seems to have difficulty running on the court, prompting fans to comment on social media about his alleged decline in form and the impact on Messi.

"Luis Suarez is the worst thing that happened to Messi," a fan claimed. Another fan said: "Messi has had enough of Suarez and his tricks now." The third fan said: "Messi tried to help Suarez score in the 2025 Club World Cup." The fourth fan said: "Luis Suarez wasted the excellent opportunity Messi gave him. Just like in the past."
