WATCH THE CLIP

<p>With Messi on board, though, it was only ever a matter of time before a collective spark was rediscovered. The Argentine GOAT <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/inter-miami-player-ratings-vs-montreal-lionel-messi-and-luis-suarez-combine-for-four-goals-as-herons-burst-out-of-slump-and-roll-to-three-points/bltee8cc83e282a767f" target="_blank">lit the fuse for Inter Miami as they burst back into form</a> against Canadian opposition.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Messi got the ball rolling against Montreal just before the half-hour mark, with a trademark long-range strike seeing him pick up possession 25 yards out, drift to the edge of the box and bend a perfectly-struck effort into the bottom corner.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>He then teed up Luis Suarez for Inter Miami’s second, before seeing the Uruguayan striker net their third. Messi put the seal on a convincing 4-2 victory when playing a one-two on the edge of the penalty area and dinking delightfully over the onrushing goalkeeper.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="in" dir="ltr">Suarez ➡️ Messi ⚽⚽✨😮‍💨 <a href="https://t.co/gwfZktYwl0">pic.twitter.com/gwfZktYwl0</a></p>— Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) <a href="https://twitter.com/InterMiamiCF/status/1927901804995506178?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 29, 2025</a></blockquote>
