Lionel Messi has officially arrived in American soccer, with the Argentine superstar making his presence known since his headline-making move from Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami was completed in July.
Messi is without a doubt the biggest star in MLS, and very definitely the biggest the league has ever seen, so all eyes will be on him as he attempts to elevate Miami from the bottom of the table to playoff candidates and, eventually, title contenders.
In the Round of 32 of the League Cup, Inter Miami defeated Orlando City 3-1. Josef Martinez added a penalty, Lionel Messi scored twice, and Jordi Alba made his Miami debut.
Messi now has five goals in three games, a crazy statistic even for the GOAT.
They scarcely slowed Orlando down when he attempted something new. Another game, another victim for Messi, who has terrorized everyone in his way.
