In a thrilling match at the Dignity Health Sports Park stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 25, tennis legend Novak Djokovic made a notable appearance to witness Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami take on LA Galaxy.
The game was a closely contested encounter, with LA Galaxy, eager for their first win of the 2024 Major League Soccer season, coming tantalizingly close to securing a stunning victory. In the 75th minute, Dejan Joveljic put LA Galaxy ahead with a goal that sparked hope among the home fans. However, Messi, showcasing his enduring talent, dashed those hopes by scoring a crucial goal in stoppage time, securing a dramatic equalizer.
Novak Djokovic, present at the stadium, watched Lionel Messi’s heroics unfold firsthand. Djokovic appeared in high spirits, flashing smiles as he posed for the cameras. He sported a stylish ensemble, donning a white polo shirt paired with a green Lacoste jacket, exuding his trademark charm.
Djokovic’s support for Lionel Messi doesn’t come as a surprise, given his previous expressions of admiration for the football icon. The two athletes had the chance to meet before the 2023 US Open, where Djokovic spoke highly of Messi, praising him as a “huge champion.”
Djokovic’s presence at the match not only highlights his appreciation for Messi’s talent but also underscores the camaraderie and mutual respect shared among sporting legends across different disciplines.
