Lionel Messi has been compared to US sports legends Michael Jordan and Tom Brady after scoring twice to help Inter Miami beat FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup on Sunday night
Lionel Messi has been drawing comparisons from two US sports greats after his latest performance for Inter Miami.
Messi has been the main attraction for soccer in the US ever since his free transfer move in July. The Argentina icon signed with Miami as a free agent after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired at the end of last season.
The 36-year-old was in action on Sunday night as Miami faced FC Dallas in the Round of 16 in the Leagues Cup. Miami went into the contest on the back of a 4-0 win over Atlanta United, with Messi scoring twice in that game.
And yet again, Messi proved himself to be the star with another two goals. His first came in the opening stages of the contest as he put Miami 1-0 up.
