COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Lionel Messi and Inter Miami have another trophy, along with home-field advantage throughout the Major League Soccer playoffs.

Messi scored twice in the final minutes of the first half, goalie Drake Callender stopped a penalty kick in the 84th minute and Inter Miami beat the defending MLS Cup champion Columbus Crew 3-2 on Wednesday night, wrapping up the Supporters Shield — given annually to the team with the best regular-season record

It was Messi’s 46th major trophy won for club or country, extending his record for the most by any men’s soccer player in history. And it becomes the second he has won with Inter Miami, this Supporters Shield being added to the Leagues Cup trophy the Herons claimed shortly after Messi joined the club in 2023.

Awesome performance from the GOAT with 2 goals away to their biggest rival for the title.

Unbelievable isn't it? Messi took Inter Miami from being the worst team in MLS before he joined to the best team after one season. Even Netflix could not have written a better script.

To be honest, I had my big initial doubts about Messi joining a lowly team that will stress him after he left PSG. But apparently, the GOAT already knew what he was capable of and now I can just sit down and marvel at another Messterpiece of a milestone, something a dusty content creator cannot relate to.

Messi free kick goal was beyond remarkable, that bend defied physic.

He has nothing to proof to me or anyone again. He's simply the GOAT and the best in our galaxy. Carrying a lower league team to the top is simply marvelous.
