Lionel Messi enjoyed a light-hearted moment in Colombia as he recreated the famous “scorpion kick” alongside legendary goalkeeper Rene Higuita, with Inter Miami visited by a number of special guests during their trip.
In a video shared from the event, Messi and Higuita linked up for a playful remake of the iconic piece of goalkeeping that made Higuita a global name. The Inter Miami captain was seen attempting the trick as Higuita joined in, bringing back memories of the Colombian’s trademark move.
The clip showed Messi and Higuita smiling as they took part in the stunt, with the former Colombia international still keen to put on a show. The moment came as Inter Miami continued their activities in the country, with notable guests present to meet the squad and be part of the occasion.
Messi, who has become the face of Inter Miami since arriving in MLS, has drawn huge attention wherever the club has travelled, and the Colombia stop was no different. With Higuita involved and the scorpion kick brought back into the spotlight, the team’s visit provided another memorable scene for fans following the tour.
