Stellar return of Lionel Messi: double, assist, and victory for Inter Miami

After two months away from the field due to an injury, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner had a stellar performance in his team's victory over the visiting Philadelphia Union at Chase Stadium.


The Argentine star Lionel Messi had a perfect return to the field on Saturday: he scored two goals, provided an assist to his friend Luis Suárez, and led Inter Miami to another victory in the main soccer league in the United States (MLS).

After two months away from the fields due to an injury, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner had a standout performance in his team's victory over the visiting Philadelphia Union (3-1) at Chase Stadium.

With their selection below on the scoreboard, the world champion of Qatar 2022 leveled the score thanks to a right-footed shot in the 26th minute and took the lead in the 30th, after a pass from one of their best partners on the field: Jordi Alba.

"The Herons" maintained the lead for the rest of the match without too many difficulties, although in the end they indulged themselves by celebrating once more, after the lethal combination between "La Pulga" and "El Pistolero" Suárez in the 98th minute.

Already qualified for the postseason, the team coached by Gerardo "Tata" Martino remains the best team in the tournament, with a total of 62 points.
