Lionel Messi has been everything and more for Inter Miami.
He has absolutely dominated since he joined Inter Miami this summer. He scored his 10th goal in just seven matches with the club in a win over Nashville this past weekend.
The Leagues Cup championship win was Inter Miami’s first trophy of any kind, which is insane for a team that was once Major League Soccer’s worst club.
We are now seeing just how easy things have been for Messi as fan footage from the stands shows him casually walking around not doing much before he starts to run, receives the ball, and scores a goal.
Messi, after Inter Miami’s remarkable run to win the Leagues Cup this month, is set to start Wednesday in the team’s U.S. Open Cup semifinal, which was confirmed by coach Gerardo Martino.
Wednesday’s match against FC Cincinnati will mark Miami’s sixth in the past 22 days.

“We said that at some point he would have to rest because of the load of minutes played,” Martino said, via ESPN. “Clearly, Wednesday is not going to be that day. If he does not tell me he wants to rest, he will continue to play.”
Messi is 36-years-old but the team has no plans to rest Messi until after Wednesday’s match at the earliest.
