Lionel Messi was once again the big star for Inter Miami in the 3-2 victory against Sporting Kansas City. It was an epic day with over 70 000 spectators at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
After missing several games due to injury, the Argentine legend was again a starter trying to find redemption for The Herons following the tough elimination with Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions Cup Quarterfinals.
Now, Messi’s big challenge is to conquer the MLS and his start to the 2024 season has been spectacular with 5 goals and 5 assists. Additionally, the new combination with Luis Suarez seems to be lethal.
During the match against Sporting Kansas City, Leo gave another display of his quality with one of the most impressive goals of the year in the United States.
