As Inter Miami prepares for a challenging 2025, Lionel Messi once again showcased his brilliance with a stunning goal. In Inter Miami’s fourth friendly match of the Americas Preseason Tour against Honduran side Club Deportivo Olimpia, Messi made a significant impact, scoring his second goal of 2025.
The Argentine forward faced some early struggles, missing opportunities in the 10th and 16th minutes after receiving passes from Luis Suárez and Tadeo Allende. However, Messi continued to push forward until he found the back of the net.
In the 26th minute, Marcelo Weigandt played a perfectly timed through ball to Suárez, who found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Instead of shooting, Suárez unselfishly passed to Messi, who calmly slotted the ball into the empty net, giving Inter Miami the lead.
Messi’s participation in the match was initially uncertain after coach Javier Mascherano expressed his intention to manage the star player’s minutes, especially with the upcoming CONCACAF Champions Cup matches against Sporting Kansas City looming. Nevertheless, Messi played a pivotal role, once again writing his name on the score sheet.
