Messi scores two for a transformed Inter Miami in second appearance

At the end of the day, it's all about Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba (maybe Luis Suarez) turning around Inter Miami's season with 12 matches remaining and getting them from dead last in MLS to the playoffs. 

In the meantime, they might just win the Leagues Cup.

Messi has yet to make his MLS debut, but on Tuesday night he made it three goals in two matches in the nascent competition, building on his walk-off free kick against Cruz Azul with a brace against Atlanta United.

The first was from Sergio Busquets. 

The second was from Robert Taylor. 

Messi then got his first Inter Miami assist on their fourth goal.

I used to be a fan of a bunch of other teams, but now I only support the Herons. They'll play one of Orlando/Houston/Santos Laguna in the Round of 32 of this strange competition. We shouldn't be scared of anyone.
