Messi scores stunner, but Inter Miami lose to Nashville in MLS playoffs | OneFootball

In the routine of the extraordinary, Lionel Messi once again shone with a stunning goal for Inter Miami, although this time it wasn't enough for Inter Miami to advance in the MLS playoffs. The Argentine star scored the consolation goal in the 2-1 defeat of the Herons against Nashville, and the series will be decided in a third match.

At 44 minutes into the second half, Leo received a ball from Rodrigo De Paul at the edge of the penalty area, positioned himself for his left foot and fired a point-blank shot that nestled into the top corner, impossible for goalkeeper Joe Willis to save, whom he had scored a brace against days earlier in the first match.

Even though it didn't help in the collective aspect, it was crucial for boosting his personal statistics: he has scored 892 official goals throughout his glorious career and is getting closer to breaking the 900-goal barrier.
