80,000 spectators enjoyed the spectacular show.

On their first tour of Peru, Inter Miami brought along the full quartet of Messi, Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba. This created a sensation among fans, with thousands warmly welcoming the top players from the moment they arrived in Lima, Peru, on January 28th.

Many young fans came to the stadium to see their idol Messi play in person.

Tickets for the match were put on sale by Universitario FC just a few days before the game, but they quickly sold out. The 80,000-seat Estadio Monumental was completely full, with many young Messi fans coming to see their idol play in person.

Coach Javier Mascherano fielded Inter Miami's strongest lineup, with Messi, Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba all starting. New signing Tadeo Allende from Celta Vigo ( Spain ), who had just completed his US work visa application, arrived in Peru in time to play in the starting lineup.

Messi became the center of attention for Peruvian fans in the stands. But on the pitch, the 37-year-old Argentinian star didn't perform as brilliantly as usual. He was still the driving force behind Inter Miami's attacks. However, the Universitario players showed they were not an easy opponent. Peru's most successful team proved they were a worthy opponent for Inter Miami, who boasted top-tier stars, playing on equal footing and exchanging blows.

Messi is always closely marked by his opponents.

Inter Miami dominated the first half, creating numerous chances, but Messi was closely marked by opponents, resulting in few dangerous scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, Suarez found the net once against Universitario, but the referee disallowed the goal for offside.

In the second half, Messi, Suarez, Jordi Alba, Busquets, and even newcomer Allende were successively substituted by coach Javier Mascherano starting in the 72nd minute, making way for younger players. Benjamin Cremaschi, who had just returned from the US national team, also came on to play.

The reason this was only the second pre-season friendly match is that Inter Miami still has many more games ahead. Conserving energy and gradually helping these star players reach their best physical condition and form before the official matches is a priority for coach Javier Mascherano.

Suarez had a chance to score, but the goal was disallowed for offside.
