kolkata:- Lionel Messi scored two goals after returning to the field almost two months after recovering from injury. Argentina’s World Cup-winning captain also scored through teammate Luis Suarez. Inter Miami got an easy win against Philadelphia Union thanks to Messi.
Miami coach Gerardo Martino said on Friday that Messi is ready to play.
He showed just how ready he is by playing the first match after recovering from injury. Philadelphia union footballers could not stop Messi. Philadelphia had scored earlier. Mikael Ure gave the team the lead after 2 minutes of the match. However, it did not help.
Messi returned to training three weeks ago and scored the first goal in the 26th minute. A second goal 4 minutes later gave Miami a 2-1 lead. There were no more goals in the first half, and the Miami footballers dominated in the second half as well. Seconds before the end of the game, Luis Suarez received a header from Messi in the opposition box. The former captain of Uruguay confirmed the team’s victory by scoring a quick shot.
Messi was injured in the Copa America final on July 14. He was seen crying after leaving the field and sitting on the bench. He was devastated by the disappointment of not being able to make the team a champion from the field. He was out of the field since then. Could not play eight matches for the club. Argentina also did not have a captain in several matches of the 2026 World Cup qualification round. The news of his return to the field will give relief to football fans.
