After making a dramatic Inter Miami debut off the bench last week, Lionel Messi showed what he can do as a starter on Tuesday.
The Argentinian superstar netted two goals and set up two more as Inter Miami thrashed Atlanta United 4-0 in a Leagues Cup game at Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Messi’s last-second, free-kick goal lifted Miami to a 2-1 win over Cruz Azul on Friday in the group opener. Atlanta United will play host to Cruz Azul on Saturday, with the winner advancing to the knockout rounds. In the 22nd minute, Messi took a pass from Robert Taylor 10 yards in front of the net and tapped in another right-footed goal.
