😅 Relax, not THAT one: Messi scores for Inter Miami against Barcelona | OneFootball

Lionel Messi scored his first goal of 2026 this Saturday (7).

And the victim has a familiar name for the Argentine star: Barcelona. But not the one from Spain, rather the one from Ecuador.

The play featured the characteristic style of the Argentine number 10, carrying the ball through the attacking field and setting it up to finish with his left foot. 

Watch below:

The goal was the first in the 2-2 draw for the MLS team in the friendly match held in Guayaquil.

Messi also provided the assist for his team’s second goal in the match, scored by Germán Berterame.

This Saturday’s match concluded Inter Miami’s series of friendlies in South America.

In January, the team had already been defeated by Alianza Lima in Peru and had beaten Atlético Nacional in Colombia.
