Lionel Messi had Inter Miami on a roll in the Concacaf Champions Cup, thanks to his latest goal.
Messi received an assist from Diego Gomez, and his legendary left boot did the rest.
Messi gave Inter Miami a 2-0 lead over Nashville SC on Wednesday night en route to a 3-1 victory — and 5-3 on aggregate — to advance to the Champions Cup quarterfinals.
Messi stretched his arms out like he normally does to celebrate, hugging teammates Luis Suarez and Gomez after the score.
Meanwhile, the Inter Miami bench celebrated with more enthusiasm – on the brink of a trip to the Champions Cup quarterfinals.
It’s the fifth goal Messi has scored this season in all competitions, and his second against Nashville in as many games.
Messi was subbed off in the 50th minute and replaced by Robert Taylor, who scored a goal of his own in the 63rd minute.
