Once again displaying his unparalleled talent, the eight-time Ballon d’Or recipient dazzled on the field as Inter Miami secured a comfortable 3-1 victory at Chase Stadium. Despite conceding an own goal by Franco Negri within the first two minutes, Lionel Messi took center stage thereafter.
The Argentine maestro swiftly equalized the score with an impressive goal just 11 minutes into the match, then orchestrated a brilliant assist for former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets, who put the home team ahead before halftime. Messi further solidified his stellar performance by netting a penalty with nine minutes remaining, securing his second goal of the game.
However, Inter Miami faced adversity as Diego Gomez joined their growing list of injured players. Nevertheless, their iconic No.10, Messi, has fully recovered from his own fitness concerns and is now in peak form. Messi recently shared a determined “Vamos” message on social media following the crucial victory that earned the team three valuable points.
With Messi’s continued brilliance, Inter Miami maintains their lead in the MLS Eastern Conference standings. Despite disappointment in the Champions Cup against Monterrey, the club, co-owned by David Beckham, remains resolute in their pursuit of more significant trophies in 2024.
