Lionel Messi Shines with Two Goals on Dazzling Return from Injury

Lionel Messi made a stunning return from a three-month injury layoff in style, delivering a performance that fans have come to expect from the football icon. Playing for Inter Miami, Messi scored two goals in just four minutes and added an assist, all while setting a new Major League Soccer (MLS) record. He became the fastest player to tally 15 goals and 15 assists, achieving the milestone in just 19 matches—ten fewer than anyone else.

Messi’s brilliance came after a shaky start for Miami, with Philadelphia Union netting a goal in the first minute. However, Messi quickly leveled the score with a smart finish inside the box and followed it up with another strike minutes later. Despite a close call in the 85th minute, Miami secured a 3-1 win as Messi set up Luis Suárez for the final goal, further cementing their dominance.

After the match, Messi admitted to feeling a bit fatigued but expressed his happiness in being back on the field. His dazzling return reinforces why he remains one of football’s all-time greats, now rewriting records in the MLS just as he did across Europe.
