Messi's magical run continues as Inter Miami beat Nashville 2-1
The Statesman Delhi
|July 14, 2025
Lionel Messi, the maestro of Major League Soccer, once again defied expectations, delivering a breathtaking two-goal performance for the fifth consecutive game.
His sensational display propelled Inter Miami to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Nashville, extending their remarkable ascent up the Eastern Conference standings following their return from the Club World Cup hiatus.
Just days after etching his name in MLS history as the first player to net multiple goals in four consecutive matches, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner repeated the feat with an astonishing display of skill and precision. The opening goal arrived in the 17th minute, a signature left-foot free-kick that threaded the needle through the smallest gap in Nashville's defensive wall, leaving goalkeeper Joe Willis with no chance as the ball nestled into the back of the net.
