Lionel Messi Shines with Two Goals and Two Assists for Inter Miami Ahead of Argentina Comeback

Lionel Messi is revving up for his much-anticipated return to the Argentina National Team, showcasing his brilliance once again in an exhilarating MLS match. In a standout performance for Inter Miami, Messi delivered two stunning goals and provided two assists against Columbus Crew, leading his team to a decisive victory in Fort Lauderdale.

An Early Spark of Brilliance

The match kicked off with Messi immediately making his mark. At just the 13-minute mark, he delivered an exceptional pass to Tadeo Allende, who skillfully broke the deadlock with a powerful cross-shot that found the back of the net. This early goal set the tone for what would be another memorable night for the Argentine superstar.

Just two minutes later, Messi showcased his lethal scoring ability. Finding himself in a promising position, he was able to catch the opposing goalkeeper off guard. With a precise shot that deflected off the keeper’s hand, he scored his first goal of the night, putting Inter Miami ahead 2-0.

Doubling Down on Greatness

Messi wasn’t done yet. As if on a personal mission, he continued to press the attack, further extending the lead with his second goal of the match at the 24-minute mark. After receiving a brilliant pass from Sergio Busquets, Messi once again found himself one-on-one with the keeper. Demonstrating his trademark composure, he delicately chipped the ball over the advancing goalkeeper, marking it as a highlight reel moment and making the score 3-0 for Inter Miami.

By the time the half-time whistle blew, Messi’s contributions had cemented his team’s dominant first-half performance. Despite a brief threat from Columbus Crew, who managed to reduce the deficit with a goal from César Ruvalcaba, Messi’s vision and skill remained unparalleled throughout the match.

A Masterclass in Playmaking

Even with the match in full swing and the score favoring Miami 4-1 — thanks to another goal from Luis Suárez — Messi continued to demonstrate his extraordinary playmaking abilities. He set up Fabrice Picault perfectly, allowing him to score the fifth goal in a beautiful team play that started from deep inside their half. This incredible display highlighted not only Messi’s goal-scoring ability but also his role as a facilitator on the field.

With these two goals, Messi has now reached a total of 10 goals in the current MLS season, bringing his career tally to an astonishing 865 goals. He has achieved this remarkable feat through a combination of grit, skill, and an undeniable love for the game.
