Messi scored 1 goal and 1 assist to help Inter Miami reach the Champions Cup quarterfinals

In the first leg, Inter Miami held Nashville to a 2-2 draw away from home. Entering the second leg, Inter Miami, under the leadership of Messi, started to dominate their opponent Nashville. In the 8th minute, Messi had a good chance in the Nashville penalty area, but he shot the ball over the crossbar.

But just 2 minutes later, Messi made a great pass for Luis Suarez to break the offside trap and finish past goalkeeper Joe Willis (Nashville), scoring the opening goal 1-0 for Inter Miami.

In the 23rd minute, Messi continued to speak up with a beautiful goal. Diego Gomez dribbled the ball strongly into the Nashville penalty area and then passed it back to Messi. The Argentine superstar controlled the ball for a moment and then fired a powerful left-footed shot, forcing goalkeeper Joe Willis to pick the ball out of the net for the second time... 2-0 for Inter Miami.

This is also the 826th goal of Messi's career.

Inter Miami then continued to attack and created a few dangerous chances but could not capitalize. In the 50th minute, Messi was replaced by Robert Taylor. Coach Gerardo Martino wanted to let the Argentine star rest because he had just recovered from an injury.

In the remaining minutes, Inter Miami scored another goal by Robert Taylor to increase the score to 3-0 in the 63rd minute, before Nashville shortened the score to 1-3 in the 90+3 minute.

With this result, Inter Miami has won the right to enter the quarterfinals with a 5-3 aggregate victory after two matches.
