Lionel Messi planted his fourth and fifth goals on Wednesday in his third appearance for Inter Miami, in a 3-1 victory against Orlando in Fort Lauderdale (Florida), in the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup. The Argentinian concluded twice from close range, first in the 7th minute on a serve from Robert Taylor. Chest control, volley sequence, the sevenfold Golden Ball had thus given the advantage to his people.
His new American team, which had not recorded any victory in its last 11 league games before its arrival, is now three out of three in this Leagues Cup, an unprecedented summer competition between North American and Mexican D1 clubs.
The beginnings of Jordi Alba in Florida
Inter Miami came back in front thanks to a penalty from Josef Martinez (51st), before he offered his second double to Messi (72nd), who is therefore at five goals in three games in his new colors.
Jordi Alba, former teammate of the “Pulga” at FC Barcelona and also arrived in Florida this summer, made his debut with Miami by entering the 64th. The former Paris Saint-Germain also plays alongside Sergio Busquets, who joined Florida a few weeks after him.
