Did you see Messi turn a keeper slip into his 101st goal? The Inter Miami captain seized the chance, slipping past San Diego FC’s CJ dos Santos to level the match.
Down 1‑0 at home, Miami earned a right‑flank free kick near the opposition box. Messi stepped up, delivering a decisive strike.
He sent a curling cross toward Casemiro, but the ball slipped past every defender. CJ dos Santos misread the flight, and the ball ricocheted into the net, drawing Miami level.
Will Messi keep pushing for more trophies as the season unfolds?
After announcing his international retirement, many thought Messi would dial back his intensity at Miami. They were plainly mistaken.
Just days later, Messi helped Miami clinch the 2026 Campeones Cup, a performance that, in my view, proves his hunger remains unmatched.
With his deal running through 2028, the Argentine can still pile on silverware as Miami chase the Eastern Conference title and a shot at the MLS Cup.
