As is a familiar scenario this season, Inter Miami's defense was sleepy and had to wait for Messi to shine to "save the goal". In the 14th minute, Inter Miami's defenders were unable to clear a simple corner kick and let Alexander Hack easily put the ball into the net.

From here, Messi quickly activated his usual shining mode. From minute 24 to 75, he created a double and an assist, all of which were classy.

In the 24th minute, Messi made a delicate pass that eliminated the entire New York Red Bulls defense. Benefiting from this pass, Jordi Alba decisively finished from a tight angle to equalize.

In the 60th minute, it was Messi's turn to receive a through ball from Sergio Busquets. At 38 years old, the Argentine striker was still fast enough to leave the opposing defender behind. He then performed a very flexible feint to eliminate goalkeeper Coronel and put the ball into the net.

In the 75th minute, he calmly controlled the ball with his chest and sealed the 5-1 victory. This time the passer was Luis Suarez. Thus, all 3 of Messi's contributions to the goal in this match were related to teammates who used to play for Barcelona in the past.

Another Inter Miami player who also scored a double in this match was Segovia with goals in the 27th and 45+3 minutes.

This is Messi's sixth brace in his last seven Major League Soccer games. He has also scored 18 goals this season for Inter Miami.

In the win over New York Red Bulls, Messi was given a maximum score of 10 after an exceptional performance.
