🎥 Messi hits classy response to silence the Minnesota crowd | OneFootball

Minnesota United's unexpected and impressive start to the 2025 MLS season faced another test this afternoon against visiting Inter Miami and Lionel Messi.

After the first-half the advantage went to the Loons on the back of a 2-0 lead at Allianz Field, leaving the Herons will plenty of work to do after the interval. And then, up-stepped Messi.

With Javier Mascherano's men hardly at the races, it was Messi once again who turned up in a critical moment, putting the Eastern Conference side on the scoresheet just three minutes after the break with a cool finish past heralded shot-stopper Dayne St. Clair.

Controlling a threaded pass from friend and former Barcelona colleague Jordi Alba, Messi quickly adjusted before dispatching his effort into the bottom corner, with Inter Miami now on the front foot and pushing for a second.
