Displaying his iconic flair, Messi was the driving force behind the Herons’ success. 

He not only netted the solitary goal during regulation time, levelling the score at 1-1, but also initiated the penalty series with his spot-kick prowess.

Before Messi’s arrival in the Summer transfer window, Inter Miami held the unenviable title of being the weakest team in the MLS, languishing at the bottom of the Supporter’s Shield standings.

Since the arrival of the Argentine superstar, David Beckham’s club has undergone a remarkable transformation, achieving a stunning streak of seven consecutive victories.
