Football
Lionel Messi’s Triumphant Return to the Field
That’s the main target in front of me now: Lionel Messi
In Major League Soccer, Inter Miami defeated Philadelphia by three goals to one. The world of football also saw the tremendous return of superstar Lionel Messi in the competition.
Messi was injured in the recently concluded Copa America final against Colombia. Messi was injured in the first half of the game and played again despite the injury. But in the second half, as the injury worsened, Messi was unable to finish the game and left the field.
But Messi gave a great performance in the game after returning from injury. The Argentine star shone by scoring two goals and one assist in the game. Messi spoke about his return after the match. Messi said he wants to get back on the field and his goal is to win the league shield with Miami.
“I really wanted to come back to the field after a long time. So I started training with the team. I feel like the injury is gone now. That’s why I decided to play in the first eleven.
As I said earlier, we know our team very well. The main goal before us now is to win the League Shield. So we take this responsibility,” Messi said on the MLS website.
At the same time, Philadelphia took the lead with Michael Uhra’s goal in the second minute of the game. But in the 26th and 30th minutes, Miami came back into the game through goals from Messi.
Miami took the lead in the first half thanks to the goals of the Argentine legend. In the second half of the game, the famous star Louis Suarez scored in injury time and Miami Min won the game. Messi paved the way for this goal.
