It’s only a few weeks into the new season, but Inter Miami CF fans are already buzzing with excitement. Why, you ask? Well, the answer is simple: Lionel Messi is in fine form, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.
The 37-year-old superstar, who seems to defy the laws of aging, opened the scoring in Miami’s Concacaf Champions Cup second-leg match against Sporting Kansas City in a manner that only Messi can. Picture this: Messi, with his trademark finesse, controlled a Luis Suárez cross with a deft touch using his chest. He then let the ball bounce before unleashing a half-volley that zipped past Kansas City keeper John Pulskamp at the near post. This goal put Miami ahead 2-0 on aggregate in the first-round matchup.
For those who missed it, here’s a quick recap of Messi’s brilliance in the first-leg game. He scored in the 56th minute, braving the frozen conditions at Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Park. It’s clear that Messi is not just a player; he’s a phenomenon, and his performance is a testament to his enduring talent.
But Messi’s magic doesn’t stop there. The half-volley marked a continuation of a strong start to his second full season in MLS. In addition to his goals in each leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup, the veteran forward also tallied a pair of assists in Inter Miami’s opening game of league play against New York City FC last Saturday. It’s safe to say that Messi is on fire, and fans are loving every moment of it.
Inter Miami ended up cruising to victory on Tuesday, with Tadeo Allende and Suárez scoring before halftime, extending the home side’s lead to 4-0 on aggregate. It’s a promising start for the team, and with Messi leading the charge, the sky’s the limit.
