Lionel Messi scores for Inter Miami in his first game in THREE months

4 days ago

Lionel Messi made a statement in his return game with Inter Miami, scoring a goal within minutes for his MLS side.

Messi stepped back on the pitch for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in Argentina's Copa America title-winning game over Colombia in July.

The Argentine sent Vice City fans on their feet with a goal against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.

Down 1-0 in the 25th minute, Jordi Alba dribbled the ball down the middle before connecting with Luis Suarez. The former Barcelona players completed the play after Suarez played a perfect one-touch pass around a Union defender.

The ball ended up on Messi's feet, who touched the ball into space, spun his defender, and slotted the ball to the bottom-left corner.
