Watch: Lionel Messi keeps dominating MLS with another incredible goal

By Adam Gretz | Last updated 8/15/23

Lionel Messi is not yet finding much resistance from MLS defenders.

In fact, he is making it look easy in the early going with Inter Miami.

He scored his ninth goal in just his sixth MLS game on Tuesday night, when he scored this incredible goal against the Philadelphia Union to give Inter Miami a 2-0 lead.

Just look at how far out he is on this strike, and the precision in which he placed it in the lower corner of the net.

What can't he do?!

There are not many players in the world that are going to score from the spot, and even fewer that are going to make it look that easy and effortless.

Messi is one of the all-time greats in the history of the sport, and he is going to excel and dominate no matter what league he is playing in or what team he is a part of. He is going to be a step above everybody. But he is taking that to an entirely new level in the MLS.

With Tuesday's goal he has not only scored nine goals in his first six matches, but he has scored in every single match he has played with Miami, including multiple two-goal efforts.

Messi signed with Inter Miami earlier this summer on a two-and-a-half-year deal that will pay him between $50 million and $60 million per year.
