Messi brace makes Leagues Cup history in Inter Miami win

Lionel Messi is one of the most famous soccer players in the world.

He plays for a team in the United States called Inter Miami.

This was his first game in the starting lineup for his team since the World Cup final, which his country Argentina lost to Spain.

In the game, Messi scored two goals and helped set up another goal for his team.

His team beat a team from Mexico called Atlético de San Luis by a score of 4 to 2.

The Mexican team scored first, very early in the game.

But then Inter Miami scored four goals in a row to take a big lead.

The other team scored one more goal later, but it was not enough to catch up.

This game was part of the Leagues Cup, a tournament where teams from American and Mexican soccer leagues play against each other.

With his two goals, Messi became the player with the most goals in Leagues Cup history.

The game was paused for a while because of lightning in the area.
