During the match between Inter Miami and Orlando, Lionel Messi demonstrated his intelligence and positioning as he made a well-timed and untracked darting run into the box.
Taking advantage of the defender’s lack of tracking, Messi found himself in a promising position.
His teammate Robert Taylor recognized the opportunity and executed a perfectly weighted chip over the defensive line, finding Messi’s feet with precision.
The well-placed pass allowed Messi to receive the ball comfortably and maintain control in a dangerous area of the field.
This kind of seamless understanding and connection between Messi and his teammates showcases his ability to read the game and create scoring opportunities.
It also highlights the impact Messi’s presence has on his team, as his movement and skill make him a constant threat in the attacking third.
With elite composure, Messi controlled the ball with his chest before rifling home a volley past the keeper.
He then wheeled away in celebration as the crowd inside Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium erupted.
In all fairness to Messi, he quickly turned around and pointed directly to Taylor to thank him for picking him out with a brilliant pass.
“This is different… Everyone in Miami, I suggest you come out and catch one of these games, it’s a movement.”

For Messi, that’s now four goals in three matches in an Inter Miami shirt.
When Sportscenter posted a clip of the goal to Twitter, fans went nuts for it.
One person commented: “This is like a grown man playing with a bunch of 10 year olds.”
While another added: “Messi is the GOAT! ”
Then, of course, one user had to ask: “Was Ronaldo ever this good?”
Everyone knew the 36-year-old was going to smash it on American shores – and he’s certainly doing just that.
