🎥 Messi magic: stunning free-kick, Inter Miami march on, Porto lose | OneFootball

The second matchday of Group A delivered huge emotions. Palmeiras secured their qualification, and in the other game, Inter Miami wrote a piece of history—of course, with none other than Leo Messi.

Mascherano’s Inter Miami, after suffering against Porto in the first half, regained ground, play, and ideas, and thanks to goals from Segovia and Messi, literally overturned Samu’s goal. The Americans now share the top spot with Palmeiras at 4 points, and in the final match, a potential draw with the Brazilians would see both teams advance.

🧙‍♂️ MAGICAL MESSI, CRAZY NUMBERS

Leo Messi took center stage with a sensational free kick that turned the match around.

The Argentine phenomenon punished Porto directly from a free kick: close range and a magical left foot to the goalkeeper’s side to turn the match around.

For Messi, it was his 50th goal with Inter Miami, on yet another record-breaking night.

For Messi, it’s his 68th goal from a free kick, just 2 behind Pelé and 9 behind Juninho to claim this record as well.

As reported by Opta, Messi has now scored at least one goal in 12 different competitions.

Eternal Messi, who once again proves that he is, probably, the greatest of all time.
