Lionel Messi is proving to be a timeless wonder tonight when he returned to the Inter Miami starting XI, adding to his goalscoring CV in the first half against Atlanta United.
After being ousted from the 2024 MLS Cup playoffs, new boss Javier Mascherano led The Herons to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a bid to set the record straight but found themselves down a goal after a header in the 11th minute by new boy Emmanuel Latte Lath.

Up-stepped Messi soon after, however, when the Argentine great snuck through the lines to strip Bartosz Slisz of possession before dancing past Derrick Williams and cheekily chipping past goalkeeping nemesis Brad Guzan for his first goal of the 2025 campaign.
Just the GOAT doing GOAT things.
