Messi stole the show with a last-minute free-kick against Cruz Azul on Friday as he made his Inter Miami debut alongside Busquets. Four days later, the former Barcelona pair were handed their first starts in America in the Leagues Cup against Atlanta United - and made it look easy. Facing MLS opposition for the first time since his move, it took Messi just eight minutes to open the scoring after a sumptuous through-ball from Busquets. In the 22nd minute, Messi doubled his tally after a well-worked move started by Busquets. Robert Taylor grabbed the next two, the fourth being assisted by Messi as Inter Miami dominated from start to finish. And former United States international Taylor Twellman, now Apple TV's lead analyst, claimed it was "ridiculous" how easily Messi and Busquets were able to link up as they pulled the strings in a 4-0 win. The first goal was exactly as Inter Miami would've drawn it up. Busquets was given a bit too much time in the middle of the park and showed his composure and class to find the run of his former Barcelona teammate to race clear and open the scoring. There were several occasions where Messi was able to drift into space and was found by Busquets over the top, including another great chance before Messi was ruled narrowly offside around the half-hour mark. After that instance, Twellman claimed it was "ridiculous" how easily the pair were able to have their own way as they made things look easy. 'I figured out pretty quickly why Lionel Messi will only go some place if Busquets comes with him," Twellman said. 'It's ridiculous. It's not even a secret, and they still pull it off.'
