Lionel Messi’s hot start in the United States and Inter Miami continues as he scored two goals in his second appearance for his new club.

In the first 22 minutes versus Atlanta United in the Leagues Cup group stage, Messi found the net twice.

After scoring a last-minute free kick to begin his Inter Miami tenure vs. Cruz Azul, the Argentina captain produced two goals within half an hour.

In the first goal, Sergio Busquets was able to send the ball to Messi and beat Atlanta United’s offside trap.

Both of them have played enough games together at Barcelona as they can read each other’s minds.

For the opening goal, Messi scored by getting his rebound off Atlanta’s post

Meanwhile, for the second goal, Messi converted a perfect pass from the left winger of Inter Miami.

Interestingly, Messi has yet to make his MLS debut as he played two games in the Leagues Cup so far.

But these performances are showing that Messi can take the MLS league by storm.

After Messi’s brace, Inter Miami adds another brace from Robert Taylor (44’, 53’).

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami will have a long break before having an MLS match vs. Charlotte FC on Aug 21.
