Lionel Messi puts on another show: another double and playoffs assured

Always Lionel Messi. Despite the 38 years on his shoulders, the’Argentine continues to enchant with the jersey of the’Inter Miami. The spectators who flocked to Citi Field to see him noticed it: a double in the challenge won by his team against New York City (4-0 the final).

In fact, Lionel Messi could have scored a hat trick but decided to “give” a penalty to teammate Suarez who, for some time, had been on the hunt for a goal (penalty converted): “He showed everyone what it means to be a team. He wants to involve everyone, in this case he helped Luis (Suarez, ed) who needed to score. I would say it was great”.

The victory against New York City takes Inter Miami officially to the play-offs: “We are happy and satisfied to have achieved the first goal, which is to qualify for the play-offs. Now we will try to finish as high as possible in the standings, which would allow us to have the advantage of the field factor in the post season”, the words of Javier Mascherano, Inter Miami coach.

At the moment, Inter Miami is in third place in the Eastern Conference standings with 55 points from 29 games but has two games to make up from the leading Philadelphia Union. With a Lionel Messi in this sparkling condition, anything seems possible.
