Messi: Commentator goes viral for his 'awesome' and 'infectious' description

  /  autty

Lionel Messi is continuing to excel for Inter Miami and his second assist against Cincinnati prompting a classic piece of commentary from Ray Hudson.

Inter Miami were trailing 2-0 in the semi-finals of the US Open Cup, but Messi provided two assists for Leonardo Campana late on to send the game to extra-time.

After the match finished 3-3 following extra-time, Inter Miami prevailed on penalties, with Messi successfully converting his spot-kick.

Messi's second assist was especially impressive as he played an excellent pass into the path of Campana.

Hudson, working as a co-commentator for CBS, made the moment even more memorable with his commentary.

Hudson said: 'The madness of Messi arrives! Astonishing pass! He doesn't pull rabbits out of his magic hat, he pulls kangaroos!'

'But again Lionel Messi drops that kind of a beer into the shot glass at the other end of the bar in a different village!

'Astonishing in his accuracy. Look at this pass, people! He bends light to find him. He takes everything into consideration, including the planets around the sun. Messi, where the impossible becomes the easy. Where the magical becomes the predictable! Pulls it out of the fire.'

Inter Miami are now through to the final of the US Open Cup, where they will take on Houston Dynamo next month.

Messi has already helped Inter Miami win their first trophy as they prevailed in the Leagues Cup.

Hudson's commentary prompted huge praise on social media.

Matteo Bonetti wrote: 'Nothing gives me more nostalgia than hearing Ray Hudson excitedly calling a Messi moment'.

Another user wrote: 'Ray Hudson calling Messi-made goals, didn’t know if we’d ever hear that again, but it’s back and it’s wonderful. Somehow was able to create a style his own in a way so many others have not. His joy is infectious and permeates every one of his calls.'

Another wrote: 'Man, I'll never get tired of hearing Ray Hudson commentatory on Messi games. Missed this combo so much. Awesome stuff'.

Another user stated that Hudson's commentary reminded him of Messi's time at Barcelona.

Another user added: 'Ray Hudson. Put this man on every big game in every sport. I beg.'
