Lionel Messi was once again the star of the show as Inter Miami delivered a stunning 4–0 win over Atlanta United in the early hours of Sunday.
The football legend opened and wrapped up the scoring in a match that had fans on their feet from start to finish. Luis Suárez and Jordi Alba also joined the party, sealing a comfortable victory for the home side and reminding everyone just how lethal Miami’s attack can be.
With his two goals, Messi has now reached 24 for the season, putting him level with LAFC’s Denis Bouanga at the top of the MLS scoring chart. Nashville’s Sam Surridge follows closely behind with 23, keeping the race for the Golden Boot thrillingly tight as the season winds down.
Since joining Inter Miami, Messi’s impact has been undeniable—his presence has completely transformed the team’s energy and confidence on the pitch.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will be aiming to keep his hot streak alive when Miami take on Nashville on October 18, a fixture that could prove crucial in both the title chase and the race for top scorer.
