The Argentinian superstar opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a cool finish inside the penalty area. In the 41st minute, Leo weaved his way through four defenders in the box before assisting Berterame to make it 2-0. The 1987-born striker was awarded a 9 for his outstanding performance against Berterame.
In his last five appearances for Inter Miami, Messi contributed five goals and five assists. The former Barca star did not contribute a goal in Inter Miami's draw against New England. After that, Leo went on a streak of four consecutive games in which he scored and assisted, and was rated above 9 points. In the match against the Orlando Magic, Messi was given a perfect 10 points.
In his last 10 matches for Inter Miami, Messi scored 9 goals. In 7 out of 10 games, "El Pulga" was rated above 8.5. He played the full 90 minutes in those matches but maintained his incredible form. There is no indication that Messi wants to hold back to wait for the 2026 World Cup.
Messi's outstanding form is good news for the Argentine national team. Recently, coach Lionel Scaloni included Messi in Argentina's preliminary squad for the 2026 World Cup. Leo is an exceptional case in the team, as Coach Scaloni allowed him to independently decide whether or not to participate in the 2026 World Cup.
Coach Scaloni declared that the Argentine national team and the entire country cherish and respect Messi. If Messi agrees, he will immediately have a place in the 2026 World Cup squad. And if Leo says he is not ready for the tournament, the Argentine team will not call him up. Messi will base his decision on his physical condition to participate in the 2026 World Cup.
Four years after winning the 2022 World Cup, the Argentina squad has changed only slightly. Ange Di Maria is the only key player absent, having retired from the national team. Messi is still surrounded by quality defenders like Enzo Fernandes, Mac Allister, and Rodrigo De Paul.
