Superstar Lionel Messi continued to prove the value of his record contract with a top performance. He contributed to Inter Miami's convincing 3-0 win over Nashville SC in the MLS Play-offs. Notably, Messi's mark this time came with a header.

Before the match at Chase Stadium, Messi was honored by MLS officials and awarded the Golden Boot, a well-deserved recognition for his devastating form since joining Inter Miami.

Immediately after that, Messi did not disappoint the expectations of fans to continue his impressive performance in recent times.

In the 19th minute, the audience at Chase Stadium witnessed a surprising and beautiful moment. From a good coordination with Luis Suarez, Messi launched a dangerous flying header. The ball went straight into the net, leaving goalkeeper Joe Willis completely helpless.

Not only did this goal open the scoring, it was also the first time Messi had scored with his head since March 2024 (in a 5-0 win over Orlando City). It showed the incredible versatility in his play.

In the second half, although Nashville SC pushed their squad up high in search of an equalizer, Inter Miami still held their ground and quickly extinguished all hopes of their opponents. Allende doubled the gap before Messi capped off a top performance with a brace, helping Inter Miami raise the score to 3-0 in the 90+6 minute.

Nashville's efforts only earned them a consolation goal in the final minute of the match. The match ended with a score of 3-1 for Inter Miami.

According to Sofascore statistics, Messi was rated 8.8 – the highest score of the match. In addition to the important goal, the player wearing the number 10 shirt also successfully performed 4 technical dribbles and was fouled by the opponent twice. This number shows his huge influence in controlling the tempo and creating opportunities.

With this excellent form, David Beckham and the Inter Miami board of directors clearly have enough reasons to sign a new contract with Messi until 2028.

The superstar wearing the number 10 shirt is proving that at the age of 38, he is still the irreplaceable soul of Inter Miami on the journey to conquer MLS.
