Lionel Messi doesn't stop shining with Inter Miami, and despite only having played 3 games with David Beckham's men, the reality is that the Argentine has already shown the United States why he is the best footballer in the world, or at least one of the best.

Inter Miami is currently winning 2-1 against Orlando City, with a great goal from Lionel Messi in just 7 minutes of the game. In the second half, the Argentinian had an unbeatable opportunity to score the second goal of the game and his second individual goal, however, he did something that nobody expected.

Josef Martínez suffered a foul inside the area, for which the referee awarded a penalty in favor of Inter Miami. Despite the fact that the logical thing would have been to think that Lionel Messi was going to take the penalty, the Argentine surprised everyone and decided to give the penalty to his teammate, Josef Martínez.

Messi received his first yellow card:
