Messi & Alba combine for Inter Miami golazo vs. LAFC Best Match 2023

Hollywood night deserved a Hollywood moment. And that’s exactly what Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets provided on Sunday at BMO Stadium.
Like in their best Barcelona days, the Inter Miami stars combined to score the club’s second goal of the night against LAFC. It started in the 51st minute with Busquets, who found Messi in the middle of the field. The GOAT would then record his first assist in MLS by placing a perfect through ball to Alba, who scored the second goal of the match and his first in MLS. It would be Messi’s first of two assists on the night to secure a 3-1 win over LAFC.

Inter Miami :

                             remain undefeated since the arrival of the trio and are chasing an Audi MLS Cup Playoffs spot after being dead last in the Eastern Conference for most of the season. Going into next week’s international break, Miami sit in 14th place in the East with 25 points, having won two games and tied one since resuming regular season play after winning Leagues Cup in August.
Lionel Messi and Inter Miami continue to be the best show in sports.
essi – the 2022 World Cup champion and seven-time Ballon d’Or winner – didn’t score for the second straight game, and his third time in 11 games since joining Inter Miami. But he didn’t have to.

Messi’s left boot still delivered with two timely passes that provided fans and celebrities like Selena Gomez, Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio and more with the graceful greatness they came to see.

Messi assisted on two goals in the second half, and Inter Miami beat reigning MLS champion LAFC decisively with a 3-1 victory on Sunday night at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.

“It was a nice test for us to see where we are, what we were capable of,” Messi said in his postgame interview with Apple TV.

“We played in a difficult field, against the last champion, we got an important result. The group grows more every day, we are going to try to get into the [postseason].”
