🎥 Inter Miami duo display Barça DNA in first-half strike vs the Galaxy | OneFootball

Inter Miami go into the half-time interval with a justified one-nil advantage, and they have some veteran stars to thank for the opener.

Despite Javier Mascherano excluding both Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul from the matchday XI against the visiting LA Galaxy, the Herons have still been the better side on the night, with former Barça stars Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets rising to the top before the break.

Not long after the Herons were denied a first goal after a sensational back-heel pass from Luis Suárez found Telasco Segovia in the box, Busquets and Alba tapped into their telepathic understanding to pounce in the 43rd minute.

Busquets, long viewed as one of the top midfielders Spain has ever produced, dispatched an inch-perfect ball into space to find the marauding Alba down the right flank, with the diminutive full-back having only Novak Mićović to beat, which he did with a composed finish from inside the box.

It was vintage Barça from the former La Roja stars, and a sign that they're still capable of producing moments of unquestionable quality.
