In his first start for Inter Miami, Lionel Messi put on a remarkable performance, scoring twice and providing an assist in a convincing 4-0 victory against Atlanta United. The Argentine superstar, aged 36, found the back of the net twice within the first 22 minutes of the match and later set up his teammate Robert Taylor for another goal in the second half.
Lionel Messi scored in the 20th minute against Curacao on Tuesday, becoming the third player to score 100 international goals and the first with a FIFA Men's World Cup trophy for the player to achieve the feat. Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Iranian Ali Daei have both scored 100 goals for their respective countries, but neither has appeared in the World Cup. Messi (35) will win the World Cup with Argentina in 2022.
