He did it again! Messi scores a stunning goal for Inter Miami. VIDEO
Lionel Messi keeps finding new ways to make the extraordinary look routine.
Details: Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi produced another moment of magic in today's MLS clash with Nashville SC. In the 62nd minute, Rodrigo De Paul found the Argentine centrally just outside the penalty area, and Messi met the pass first time with his left foot, curling a superb effort into the far corner to put his team 2-1 ahead.

The goal was even more impressive considering Messi had already come within inches of scoring shortly after the break. In the 50th minute, his left-footed attempt from the right side of the penalty area crashed against the crossbar, but only 12 minutes later the Inter Miami star found the target in spectacular fashion.
Inter Miami had fallen behind after just four minutes through Sam Surridge before Reed Baker-Whiting's own goal from a Messi corner restored parity in the 19th minute. Messi's masterpiece appeared to have completed the comeback, but Nashville refused to surrender and Surridge struck again in stoppage time to secure a 2-2 draw.
It is worth noting that Messi's strike was his 19th goal of the MLS regular season, sending him back to the outright lead in the Golden Boot race. The Argentine now has 19 goals and 13 assists in league play this season, while the goal against Nashville was also his 99th for Inter Miami across all competitions.
