Lionel Messi is inevitable and unstoppable in the MLS. The Argentine legend had another epic night for Inter Miami during a 3-1 victory over Nashville SC. As a consequence, The Herons reached 18 points as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
The elimination from the Concacaf Champions Cup is part of the past as Messi has been a key factor for two consecutive victories after the bitter episode at Monterrey.

This Saturday, Miami started behind early with an own goal from Franco Negri (2′), but Messi led another comeback scoring in the 11th minute, delivering an assist for Sergio Busquets (39′) and then converting a penalty kick (81′).
