Lionel Messi played in the coldest game of his career on Wednesday night as his Inter Miami opened their season in absolutely frigid conditions.
When the Herons’ CONCACAF Champions Cup first round clash at Sporting Kansas City kicked off, it was just 6 degrees Fahrenheit (-14C) in Kansas City, with a real feel of -9 degrees.
The blisteringly cold matchup comes after the game was actually postponed a day due to extreme weather conditions in Kansas, as roughly a half-foot of snowfall and wind chill potentially as bad as 25 degrees below zero had been expected for Tuesday.
In a statement announcing the game had been pushed back a day, CONCACAF said the decision was made ‘to prioritize player and fan safety, and in close coordination with the two participating clubs and the local authorities.’
Due to the colder climates around the United States and the February-to-December (including playoffs) schedule of MLS, extreme cold weather is far more common in American soccer than in Europe or especially South America
