Lionel Messi delivered again, scoring in the 86th minute to put the icing on Inter Miami’s 4-0 win over FC Charlotte in the Leagues Cup quarterfinal on Friday night.
Messi scored in the first eight minutes of his first three Inter Miami starts. He even one-upped himself – scoring in the eighth, seventh, and sixth minutes – in those games.Josef Martinez scored on penalty kick in the 12th minutes and Robert Taylor scored in the 32nd as Inter Miami took a 2-0 lead into halftime. An own goal in the 78 minute solidified their lead against a feisty Charlotte team that could not make the most of its opportunities.
After all, Martino trusts both players. And Martinez may have needed the involvement in this game more than Messi, who has shined in other matches. “You bring three players that are the star three players, from a team defined by experts as maybe the best ever, what do you do?” Lattanzio said.

Is Lionel Messi's Inter Miami decision a Beckham-level 'game-changer' for MLS?Lionel Messi's Miami adventure will begin at what was once an MLS gravesite. Some 22 years ago, long before the GOAT decided to take his talents to South Beach, before he'll arrive to lift an entire league and perhaps American soccer more broadly, that league was crumbling. It nearly folded in 2001. It survived, but its first Miami club, the Fusion, dissolved. The league's future, if it even had one, looked bleak.
