Miami International defeated the New England Revolution 2-1 in the regular season, and Messi made a double hit, helping the team win four consecutive league wins.

After the game, New England Revolution coach Caleb Porter said: "I said before the game that Messi is in one of his best in his career, and this game fully demonstrates his professionalism and competitive consciousness. Messi is a beast, he played all the games in the Club World Cup, and when he comes back from there, you might think, ‘Maybe Messi needs a break’. But I’m sure Messi will go to the head coach and say, ‘I’m going to play, I don’t want a break’.

"A lot of other players may say, ‘Well, I need a break in this game’, or ‘Let me play the bench next round’. But Messi may have heard that there will be 60,000 spectators present, and he just wants to bring everyone a wonderful game. ”
