(VIDEO) Lionel Messi's magical assist for Jordi Alba's goal vs LAFC

Inter Miami is having an important game against LAFC where Facundo Farías was one of the main protagonists of the duel, in which Lionel Messi played false 9 by order of coach Gerardo Martino. The player has placed himself in an important way in a new MLS game and now, the playoff dream seems to be still intact.

In the 51st minute of the game between Inter Miami vs. Los Angeles FC, Jordi Alba appeared to make it 2-0 in favor of his team. The play had the direct participation of Lionel Messi, who assisted the Spanish for the advantage of the 'rosados' for Major League Soccer.

Lionel Messi was once again key, despite the fact that he missed some opportunities, the player took advantage of his movements to upset the LAFC defense, who had a second half to forget. The local club practically disappeared in the second part, in which the Argentine soccer player shone again. It seems that after all, Inter Miami's dream of an agonizing playoff qualification is more alive than ever.

Will Lionel Messi miss the next games?

The Argentine striker will leave Inter Miami for a few weeks to appear with the Argentine National Team because he has been called up for the South American qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup. The player is not expected to be part of the next two games. However, his teammates Busquets and Jordi Alba remain at the club, having already retired from the national team.
