Messi Scores Twice for Inter Miami on Returning Night

Football legend Lionel Messi made an impressive return from injury for Inter Miami, early Sunday, to help the team to win 3-1 over Philadelphia in the Major League Soccer (MLS).

Messi scored twice in his return after being sidelined with injury since the final of Copa America in July.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner didn't played since his right ankle injuy during the Copa America.

Messi missed eight MLS games for his club and this month’s World Cup qualifiers for his country.

Messi said after the game: “The truth is that I’m a little tired,” he said after the match. “The heat and humidity in Miami don’t help much either, but I really wanted to come back, I had been off of the field for a long time.

“Little by little I was training with the group, feeling good and that’s why we decided that I would start, and I’m very happy, very happy.”
