Perhaps the novelty or awe inspired by the presence of Lionel Messi is wearing off for the New York Red Bulls as they prepare to take on Inter Miami on
Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi jogs to his position during the first half of an MLS soccer match against Sporting Kansas City, Saturday, April 13, 2024, in Kansas City, Mo. Saturday down in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
It showed during his 30 minutes on the pitch when he came on as a second-half sub. The Red Bulls were caught ball-watching, practically star-struck, as Messi received the ball in the middle of the box in the 89th minute. He threaded a pass to the right wing to Benjamin Cremaschi, who instantly played it back to the middle where Messi’s unmarkable run found him all alone with nothing but an open net in front of him leaving Red Bulls keeper Carlos Coronel without a prayer.
In his first year as head coach, Schwarz has the Red Bulls — who clawed their way into the postseason during the final week of the 2023 season — in third place in the Eastern Conference 10 matches into this year. Lewis Morgan is healthy and scoring at will. Emil Forsberg is pulling the strings just as the savvy Bundesliga veteran was expected to when he signed in December.
