Inter Miami won 2-0 overall, with Messi providing an assist.
The Argentinan star is known as a composed player and rarely gets into trouble during a game. However, since the 2022 World Cup, he became fiercer and showed more leadership on the pitch.
Messi is now in his first full season with Miami. After joining the club from PSG in July last year, he made an immediate impact by winning the Leagues Cup.
He has now scored 11 goals and had five assists in 14 games for Miami.
