Lionel Messi is just two goals away from becoming Inter Miami’s all time leading goal scorer.
Messi scored twice for Inter Miami in their 3-1 win vs. Philadelphia Union and is on 27 goals, two shy of Gonzalo Higuaín’s all time goal scoring record of 29 goals for the club. The 37 year old is the second all time leading goal scorer, joining the team last year.
Messi has two goals in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, 10 goals in the Leagues Cup and 15 in Major League Soccer.
Lionel Messi returned from injury with two goals for Inter Miami in their 3-1 win vs. Philadelphia Union.
It was not the best of starts for Inter Miami, allowing a goal after only 59 seconds. An effort on goal and the goalkeeper got a hand to it but was unable to keep the ball out.
It was a connection made in South America. Luis Suárez would play a pass to his good friend Messi who would dribble around the defender and score to draw Inter Miami level.
Lionel Messi would add one more goal. It was a goal we have seen several times at FC Barcelona and at Inter Miami, Jordi Alba would play a pass into the penalty area and the Argentine would score his second goal of the match.
At 2-1, Messi would play a pass to Suárez who would score but the referee would go to VAR and Messi was offside.
The second half would bring a goal for Luis Suarez and an assist from Lionel Messi and Inter Miami continue to lead the league.
Lionel Messi is starting for Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia Union.
Messi is back in the starting eleven and playing with Inter Miami for the first time in over three months. The 37 year old was substituted out injured during the Copa America final with the Argentina national team but did lift the trophy.
He isn’t the only Argentine in the starting eleven. Tomás Avilés, Federico Redondo and Marcelo Weigandt also start for Inter Miami.
Mundo Albiceleste will be at the Inter Miami match as media press and will have videos and pictures from the match. We will be posting them here and on our social media channels.
