How Many Ways Can Messi Create Magic in Fort Lauderdale?
Fans attending the DRV PNK Stadium on Friday night must be thinking about Lionel Messi and Inter Miami’s next match against Charlotte FC in the League Cup quarterfinals, a tournament including teams from Major League Soccer and Liga MX.
Inter Miami was only 10 minutes away from being eliminated in the 16th round in Dallas, but Messi salvaged a 5-3 victory with a comeback penalty kick. After Dallas scored a spectacular own goal to tie the game at 4-3, Messi triggered the shootout with a free kick in the 85th minute. This strike was likened to Cruze Azul’s last-second free-kick victory in Inter Miami’s debut. Messi also assisted and scored Inter Miami’s opening goal against Dallas.

Messi leads the competition with seven goals in four games. Except for two, his shots have all been on target.
Messi has scored 13 goals for the redesigned Inter Miami, which is tied for first place in the competition with Sergio Busquets and Robert Taylor. This is a big test for Charlotte, who allowed the most goals (40) during the regular season. Charlotte has six league championships, one more than Miami. Messi, Busquets, and Jordi Alba, on the other hand, have yet to make their MLS debuts
