Oh boy, did you catch that game where Messi just rocked the field for Inter Miami? It was insane! The dude not only scored a goal but dished out five assists like it was no big deal. And get this, he broke not one, not two, but three Major League Soccer records in that single game! Talk about making history.
So, here's the breakdown: Messi bagged himself six goal contributions, with five assists, and he even managed to pull off five assists in just one half of the game. Like, who even does that? No wonder he snagged the MLS Player of the Month Award for April. And get this, he's been on fire lately, scoring and assisting in six straight league matches. That's some serious consistency right there.
But hold up, Messi wasn't the only star of the show. Luis Suárez showed up big time too, netting three goals, while Matias Rojas chipped in with a couple of his own. Inter Miami was down 1-0 at halftime but then they just went on a rampage, scoring six unanswered goals. It was a comeback for the ages!
And get this, Messi and Suárez are now leading the league with 10 goals each. With those two on fire, Inter Miami is sitting pretty at the top of the Eastern Conference. They're on a six-game unbeaten streak, and it all started after a tough loss where Messi was out with an injury. Talk about turning things around!
The game started off a bit shaky for Miami, with New York controlling possession early on. But once Rojas equalized in the 48th minute, there was no stopping them. Messi was just everywhere, setting up goals left and right. And Suárez? Man, that guy was on a mission, finding the back of the net three times in quick succession.
Sure, New York managed to sneak in a goal in stoppage time, but by then, the damage was already done. Miami had put on a clinic, showing why they're the team to beat in the league.
Now, both teams are gearing up for their next matches next Saturday. Inter Miami is hitting the road to take on CF Montreal, while the Red Bulls are gearing up to host New England. It's gonna be another exciting weekend of MLS action, that's for sure!
