Messi puts enemies to shame, Diddy, Camilla Cabello and DJ Khaled show up as GOAT bags 2 goals and 1 assist for Inter Miami in 4-0 win against Atlanta United.
In Tuesday night’s 4-0 triumph at DRV PNK Stadium, Inter Miami CF’s star Lione Messi pulled off the extraordinary by scoring twice in the first 22 minutes of their Leagues Cup match against Atlanta United to secure a place in the knockout stage.
On a breakaway that Sergio Busquets set up for him in the eighth minute, Messi scored the game’s first goal by comfortably converting the rebound after first hitting the post.
It is minute 22. Robert Taylor found Messi and set him up for a one-timed goal from eight yards out after driving the attack forward from midfield.
The playmaking prowess we’ve come to expect from Messi continued after that as he twice served as a provider on Taylor’s brace, which occurred in the 44th and 53rd minutes.
The 36-year-old Messi, who is Miami’s new captain, was replaced by Robbie Robinson in the 79th minute.
He was given a standing ovation for contributing two goals and one assist.
