🎥 Messi scores stunner on return, deepens Reus and co's crisis

Lionel Messi made an impressive comeback after his brief injury break and plunged reigning MLS champions LA Galaxy, featuring BVB icon Marco Reus, even deeper into crisis.

On Saturday night into Sunday, Inter Miami faced LA Galaxy, who remain at the bottom of the Western Conference Division in the midst of a disastrous season. After missing recent games due to injury, Messi only came on at halftime with Miami leading 1-0.

LA managed to equalize in the meantime, but then, just before the end, the Messi show began. First, in the 84th minute, he scored a stunning goal himself after a little dribbling display, and shortly after, he set up teammate Suarez for the 3-1 final score. Nobody can stop this maestro.

Inter Miami thus remain on track, while the West Coast team around Marco Reus continue to stumble through the season. In 26 games, they've managed just three wins so far—and that's as reigning champions. Ouch.
