Lionel Messi continued to score a super goal, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Inter Miami from suffering a humiliating 1-3 loss to Atlanta United.

Messi’s goal in the 63rd minute was a typical masterpiece, he dribbled the ball and fired a shot that made goalkeeper Josh Cohen just stand and watch.

This goal from outside the penalty area reminds you of his famous masterpiece in the match against Mexico at the 2022 World Cup.

Messi passed two players, took turns dribbling the ball closer to the goal and finding space to finish, making it identical to the iconic goal that opened the world championship for Argentina.

Despite losing this match, Miami still did not lose the top spot in MLS because before that, their direct opponent Cincinnati lost 0-2 to Nashville.

Messi has now scored 13 goals and 15 assists in 13 appearances for Inter Miami this season.

This coming June, the winner of eight Golden Balls will return to Argentina with the hope of leading his country to Copa America glory for the second time in a row.

La Albiceleste lifted the title in the summer of 2021, when Messi finally won a title with his national team.

Argentina will definitely be a candidate for this year’s championship, although rivals Brazil and Uruguay are also eager for the opportunity.

Currently, Messi’s physical condition is the most significant concern. His presence on the field will enhance the team’s morale and performance.

Messi’s importance to Inter Miami and Argentina is undeniable. For Beckham’s team, the 36-year-old striker is a symbol of their ambitions in MLS.

His ability to change the outcome of a match with moments of brilliance is unmatched by anyone.

For Argentina, Messi remains the heart and soul, his leadership and skills are the key to their hopes in the Copa America.

If the world’s No. 1 star wins the championship in the South American tournament and MLS this year, it will be difficult for the 9th Ballon d’Or to escape his grasp.
