Messi`s first MLS goal of 2025 helped Inter Miami win 2-1 against Atlanta United, showcasing his brilliance.

Lionel Messi made headlines by scoring his first MLS goal of 2025 in a thrilling match against Atlanta United. The Argentine superstar showcased his exceptional skills in the 20th minute, stealing the ball from Bartosz Slisz, sidestepping Derrick Williams, and executing a brilliant chip over goalkeeper Brad Guzan to equalize the score at 1-1. Inter Miami ultimately secured a 2-1 victory, further solidifying their position in the league.

This goal comes after Messi missed Inter Miami`s last two MLS matches due to fatigue, raising questions about his fitness. In 2024, he had an outstanding season, netting 20 goals and providing 16 assists in just 19 matches, although he narrowly missed out on the MLS Golden Boot. Despite his recent injury, which will keep him out of Argentina`s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil, Messi`s performance in the MLS remains impressive, proving he is still a pivotal figure for Inter Miami.
