Lionel Messi put Inter Miami up 2-0 over the Philadelphia Union in the 20th minute with a stunning long-range finish.
WHAT HAPPENED? Lionel Messi scored his ninth goal of the 2023 Leagues Cup to put Inter Miami up 2-0 early over the Philadelphia Union Tuesday evening. The goal came from over 30 yards out, as the Argentine picked out a corner against three-time MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Andre Blake.
What can't he do?! ????
THE BIGGER PICTURE: With the goal, Messi further extended his lead in the race for the Golden Boot and Inter Miami are en route to a finals appearance if the result holds.
WHAT NEXT FOR INTER MIAMI AND LIONEL MESSI?: They will look to hold onto their 2-0 lead over the Union and close-out the match from here on out.
Make it NINE goals in six games for Leo Messi. pic.twitter.com/HLf3zBFTmV
I'm not disputing Messi's greatness but let's say the truth and shame the devil right? That goal looked like he was wired up and told when to shoot same as the goalkeeper because how did that go in ????

Lionel Messi has been with Inter Miami for barely two months and his goal catalogue is already the envy of many players. Two free kick goals, two volleys, two long range efforts (outside box) and three tap-ins (two with weak foot) in just 5.5 games is out of this world. pic.twitter.com/mckOXSG9Cq
