Lionel Messi’s sensational impact in the United States continued to amaze fans as he led Inter Miami to a stunning 4-0 victory against Atlanta United in the Leagues Cup, securing a spot for his team in the knockout rounds. Following his dramatic late winner in the previous match against Cruz Azul, Messi was granted his first start for his new club.

The Leagues Cup is an exciting tournament that brings together the top-flight teams from both MLS and Mexico’s Liga MX. With two consecutive wins, Inter Miami now sits at the top of their group, and the addition of Messi to their squad has raised hopes of clinching their first-ever trophy.

The Argentine maestro wasted no time making an impact, finding the back of the net in the eighth minute. A perfectly timed ball from his former Barcelona teammate, Sergio Busquets, sent Messi on a breakaway. Although his initial shot struck the post, he quickly reacted and calmly slotted in the rebound.

Not content with just one goal, Messi doubled the lead in the 22nd minute in a beautiful combination with Finnish winger Robert Taylor. Messi showcased his dribbling prowess as he ran at the Atlanta defense, then neatly played the ball to Taylor, who skillfully returned it to Messi for a clinical finish.

Atlanta tried to contain the unstoppable Messi by assigning Argentine midfielder Santiago Sosa to mark him closely, but Messi’s brilliance proved too much to handle. He continued to dictate play and create scoring opportunities for his teammates, especially Robert Taylor, who enjoyed a fruitful partnership with the football legend.

Just before halftime, Messi played a crucial role in Inter Miami’s third goal. He orchestrated a well-executed sequence with Benjamin Cremaschi, who artfully flicked the ball to Taylor. Taylor displayed immense composure, firing a powerful shot from a tight angle to extend the lead.

The second half saw Atlanta attempting to fight back, but they were caught off guard as Messi once again initiated a swift counter-attack. After a corner kick was cleared, Messi embarked on a mesmerizing run from deep within his own half, eventually releasing Taylor on the left. Taylor’s low shot found the back of the net, leaving Atlanta stunned and helpless.

Such was Messi’s domination that Inter Miami’s Argentine head coach, Gerardo Martino, opted to rest both Messi and Busquets to preserve their energy for future matches. Messi left the field in the 78th minute to a rousing applause from the delighted fans.

Even after the final whistle, the praise for Messi and his impact on the team echoed throughout the stadium. Robert Taylor, who benefited greatly from Messi’s presence on the field, couldn’t help but shower the superstar with admiration. “Every time Leo has the ball, we have a few players running in behind, creating loads of space for everyone else,” said Taylor. “He brings so much quality to the team. I mean, he’s the best player in the world. It’s a dream come true to play with him.”

Messi’s incredible performances have not only delighted Inter Miami supporters but have also sparked a sense of belief within the team. With their new talisman settling in so quickly and making an instant impact, Inter Miami now looks like a serious contender for the Leagues Cup title.
