Lionel Messi continues to show just why he's a step above the rest.
Inter Miami found themselves down 0-1 in the opening minutes against New York Red Bulls, but then the Argentina World Cup winner had enough.
Messi toyed with the host team in midfield, first setting up Jordi Alba for a beautiful equalizer with an inch-perfect pass into the box. Needle through a thread.
A perfect pass if we've ever seen one. 😍

Then, in the blink of an eye, it was the Herons in the lead once again because of Messi's magic.
Though he won't get the assist, it was as visionary as it could be with Messi pushing the ball out wide and over the top before it eventually fell to Telasco Segovia.
This build-up from @InterMiamiCF. 👌

And then even after that, a classic low, left-footed drive from Messi went only a few feet wide of the net.
He is running the show!
