Trump jokes: Could I score a free-kick against FC Porto? | OneFootball

Donald Trump welcomed the Inter Miami team, especially the star Lionel Messi, in a ceremony celebrating their victory in the Major League Soccer in 2025. During the speech, with the entire team behind him, the President of the United States read from a prepared text.

“No Inter Miami match in the Club World Cup was more important than the one against FC Porto. Porto scored first, but you came back stronger after halftime and equalized in the 54th minute,” he began.

“Leo [Messi] stepped up for one of his famous free kicks, striking the ball to curve around the wall, beating the goalkeeper and scoring a sensational goal.”

After that, he interrupted the reading to, once again, focus the speech on himself.

“Could I also score a free kick against FC Porto if I trained a lot?” he asked, while everyone laughed at this kind of joke from Donald Trump.

“No, he says I couldn’t. I think he’s right. By winning that game, Inter Miami became the first North American team to defeat a European opponent in an official competition. Unbelievable.”
