Lionel Messi’s Latest Sublime Goal Left Soccer Fans Awestruck

Lionel Messi once again left soccer fans in awe of his skills on Tuesday night.

In his just his sixth game with Inter Miami CF, Messi scored his ninth goal since joining the club in incredible fashion in the Leagues Cup showdown against the Philadelphia Union.

After receiving a pass from Josef Martinez, Messi made several soft touches on the ball, before racing toward the Union goal. The global superstar then launched a rocket to the far post from 30-plus yards out.

Philadelphia goalkeeper Andre Blake, despite sprawling to his left, was simply helpless to stop the blast from distance.

Messi’s incredible skill, which helped stake Miami CF to a 2-0 first-half lead, left fans in awe on social media.

Inter Miami went on to defeat Philadelphia, 4-1, and will play the winner of Tuesday night’s match between CF Monterrey and Nashville SC.
