Inter Miami ride Josef, Campana brilliance to inspiring comeback

Martínez, their superstar Venezuelan striker, scored a 90th-minute scissor-kick golazo that salvaged a 2-2 draw at home against the Columbus Crew. It’s an all-but-guaranteed AT&T 5G Goal of the Matchday nominee that came off an assist from his Ecuadorian striking partner, who also found the back of the net for the Herons with a towering header in the 57th minute.

With Miami looking to climb up the Eastern Conference standings, Martínez and Campana provide a formidable foundation up front to build upon should certain players join the club in the upcoming days and weeks. To be more specific, those like Lionel Messi – who last month expressed his intention to join the Herons – and fellow FC Barcelona legend Sergio Busquets.

It’s a scenario that fills Campana with excitement.

“It’s a dream,” the Ecuadorian international said of possibly sharing the field with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner and 2022 FIFA World Cup champion with Argentina.

“I think everyone who’s here grew up watching him play,” Campana added. “I played hooky from school to watch his games in the Champions League… I think anybody would want to play with the best player in history, you could say. I get goosebumps just talking about him.”
