After missing the international break with Argentina due to minor injury, fans were eager to see Lionel Messi back in action for Inter Miami. Star Forward, who entered as a replacement, made an immediate impact and marked his return with a fantastic goal against Philadelphia Union.
There was concern before Kickoff, because Messi did not join the rest of the team for heating of foreplay, and suggested that he could start on the bench. After a short warm -up session during the match, he came on the 55th minute to replace Robert Taylor, who had opened the point for Inter Miami.
Just two minutes later, Messi delivered a moment of shine. After a ball recovery by Luis Suárez in the midfield, Uruguayan played a quick pass to Fafa Picault, which returned it with a coupon ball. Suárez then slid a perfectly timed pass in the box and found Messi one-on-one with a defender. After a smart feint to shake off his marker, Messi calmly hit the ball in the net with her right foot and dropped off a clinical counter -attack in the 57th minute.
Objectives for the best of all time 🐐✨
