Barcelona might have felt nostalgic after seeing Albaâs cut-back pass to Lionel Messi
Although we have seen the Jordi Alba and Lionel Messi combination a lot over the years, Inter Miami will be happy to see it again in Los Angeles.
After trailing 1-0 in the closing minutes of their match against the LA Galaxy on Sunday, Jordi Alba helped Lionel Messi equalise in the 92nd minute. Messiâs first goal of the year sealed an improbable draw for a Miami club that had been completely outmatched before.
Throughout the majority of Sundayâs game, Miami was second best, with Messi and Albaâs old Barcelona teammate Riqui Puig taking centre stage. Drake Callender saved the Spanish midfielderâs early penalty, but other than that, he was unstoppable and dictated the entire game.
But as he often does, Messi made a crucial difference, enabling Miami to record four points from their opening two games of the year.
As Inter Miami gets ready to visit Florida rivals Orlando City on Saturday, their attention will shift to a huge rivalry battle. Following that, the team will start competing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Messiâs goal was significant because it gave Tata Martinoâs team a vital road point. After missing out on the playoffs the previous year, the Herons will be eager to return this year.
