A World Cup legend in his own right, Lionel Messi crossed paths with another soccer icon on Saturday, kicking a ball around with Colombia’s René Higuita ahead of Inter Miami’s second preseason match.
Higuita, a former Colombian goalkeeper, etched himself in soccer lore when he made a scorpion kick save for his national team in a 1995 friendly match against England at Wembley Stadium. That moment helped define his highlight reel in a career that saw him revolutionize the position, scoring over 40 goals with a flair for showmanship.
