On October 12, in the MLS make-up match, Inter Miami faced Atlanta United at home. Messi scored 3 goals in this game. Under his leadership, Inter Miami defeated the opponent 4-0.

Prior to this, the Argentina team gave Messi a "holiday" and allowed him to participate in this make-up match at the club. Although the outcome of the game has nothing to do with the regular season championship, if Messi can score, it will help him compete for the Golden Boot.

In the 39th minute of the game, Messi finally scored. In the frontcourt, after Inter Miami intercepted the opponent's ball, his teammates quickly handed it to Messi. Faced with many opponents' defensive players, Messi suddenly took off his feet after adjusting, and finally shot the ball into the blind corner, giving Miami International a 1-0 lead at home.

Scored this wonderful goal. Messi finally did not "disappoint" the Argentine team's hard work. In fact, this was just the beginning of Messi's excellent performance. In the 52nd minute of the second half, Messi got the ball in his own half. He used his "telescope" to see Alba at the far end. Then Messi sent a long pass of almost 40 meters. Alba quickly moved forward and the ball just fell in front of him. Alba immediately shot and scored, and the score became 2-0. Messi also received an assist. I have to say that Messi’s pass was really wonderful. Both the speed and placement of the ball were just right. This was a world-class assist.

After that, Inter Miami continued to attack wildly. In the 61st minute, Suarez scored with a volley. This was his third goal this month. As Suarez regains his form, I believe the pressure on Messi will be greatly relieved in the next playoffs, and Inter Miami will also have the opportunity to go further and even win the championship.

Before the end of the game, Messi received a long pass from Alba in an offside position, and finally scored a single goal. He scored twice and locked the score at 4-0.

After this game, there is only one round left in the MLS regular season this season. Since International Miami is 4 points behind the first-place Philadelphia Union, they have also missed the chance to compete for the regular season championship. However, after Messi scored 2 goals in this game, he ranked first in the scorer list with 26 goals. In the last round of the game, if Messi can participate and continue to score goals, he is very likely to win the MLS regular season Golden Boot.

Since joining Inter Miami, Messi has not won the MLS Golden Boot. This year is his best opportunity. It is no wonder that Argentina did not sign up for Messi in the previous friendly match. I hope Messi can seize this opportunity. In fact, Messi should have locked up the Golden Boot a long time ago. He has given up penalty kicks many times before to help his teammates regain the feeling of scoring goals. If Messi had taken those penalty kicks himself, I believe he would have booked the Golden Boot!
