Leo Messi’s performance in the conference semifinals was mind-blowing. Just look at this.
Argentine footballer Lionel Messi scored a goal and provided three assists to help Inter Miami win 4-0 over FC Cincinnati and advance to the MLS Eastern Conference Final, where they will face New York City FC, who eliminated the Philadelphia Union.
Tadeo Allende scored twice for Inter, and Mateo Silvetti added one. The Florida team had never advanced this far in the competition before.
Messi has already scored six goals and assisted six times in the playoffs, meaning he’s been involved in every one of his team’s scoring opportunities. He had 29 goals and 19 assists in the regular season. This suggests he’ll be named MVP for the second consecutive season.
New York City FC also won away from home, 1-0, with the only goal scored by another 38-year-old Argentine, Maxi Moralez.
