Captain Lionel Messi scored the first goal of the night, connecting with Mateo Silvetti to head the ball into the net and earn the early lead for the visiting team. Messi then assisted on the second goal by setting up Silvetti, who rocketed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal from the left side of the field.
Inter Miami's quest for the 2025 MLS Cup might have already fizzled out if it weren't for Lionel Messi, who's already scored five goals in the first playoff series alone. The Argentinian's latest exploits, which saw him score twice and assist once in Miami's 4-0 win over Nashville SC, earned him his first Team of the Week card in EA Sports FC 26 and carried Miami into the next round of the competition.
I was glad to see Messi back at the Camp Nou, but no, we didn't know he was coming. We love him. This is his home, and he knows it. I think he deserves the best farewell in history.
"And I would like to be there. To feel well and to be an important part of helping my national team, if I am there. I am going to assess that on a day-to-day basis when I start preseason next year with Inter [Miami] and see if I can really be 100%. I'm really eager because it's the World Cup. We're coming off winning the last World Cup, and being able to defend it on the field again is spectacular"
