Lionel Messi’s game-winning goal in his first Inter Miami match was so clutch, memorable and dynamic. It was natural to wonder whether his second game could live up to the heightened hype.
Messi delivered again.
And he did not waste much time, either.
Messi, widely considered the greatest player in the sport, scored two goals within the first 22 minutes of the match. He also delivered a second-half assist, leading Inter Miami to a 4-0 victory against Atlanta United in Leagues Cup play on Tuesday night at DRV PNK Stadium.
