Every single time Messi steps onto the field, he is the recipient of a particular attention package. When it comes to preventing the Argentine superstar from scoring, even DC United Club is need to send a significant number of players.
This incident occurred at the conclusion of the first half of the match that was played between Inter Miami and DC United in the fourteenth round of the Major League Soccer (MLS) this morning. Messi made a breakthrough into the penalty area of DC United after receiving the ball from the opponent that had passed it to him.

A group of seven players from DC United teamed together to place a siege on Messi. There was a lot of effort put in by the crowd of players from the away team in order to steal the ball from the great player from Argentina. It is evident that Messi continued to demonstrate his fearsome effect despite the fact that he was unsuccessful.
As soon as it was posted, the photograph of Messi being surrounded by seven players from the opposition team became a “hot” topic on social networks. Despite the fact that he is 37 years old, Messi continues to be an immensely dangerous player. Your opponent will have a very tough time stealing the ball from superstar number 10 if you do not deploy a huge number of players to surround you. This will make it very difficult for them to move the ball.
During the most recent encounter, DC United made the decision to position a bus in front of the goal in an effort to prevent Messi and his colleagues from scoring. During the 90+4 minute mark, they were able to hold Inter Miami till they were virtually successful with their tactic.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, managed to pull off a victory right at the very end. In order for Campana to cross the ball and volley the ball into the net for DC United, Busquets delivered a superb long pass.
