After Inter Miami's brilliant perofrmance, the image of Lionel Messi that scared the USA

There are no longer enough adjectives to describe what Lionel Messi is doing at Inter Miami. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) completely changed the face of a team that is last in the MLS and he demonstrated it again this Wednesday night, in the resounding victory of the Garzas over Orlando City in the classic from Florida.

Those led by Tata Martino prevailed 3-1 at the hands of a stellar Messi who delivered a double (it could have been three, but he gave Josef Martínez a penalty) and qualified for the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup. The match was loaded with spices and Leo was seen in a version similar to the one he showed against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of Qatar 2022.

However, despite his double and his general anger, caused by his competitive fire, in the second half an image was given that scared all those who were watching the match: he collided with an opponent in a counterattack and was left lying down for several minutes. without getting up, to the point that the medical staff had to enter. Finally, the blow did not go to major and later the Rosario would convert the second goal of his account.

With his double against Orlando City, Lionel was 27 celebrations away from reaching the 839 that place CR7 at the top of the table of top scorers in soccer history. In addition, he is also chasing Gonzalo Higuaín's record as Inter Miami's all-time scorer, and the predictions are that he will surpass both.
