Messi shines from the bench In round 6 of MLS 2025, Lionel Messi scored just 2 minutes after entering the field in Inter Miami's 2-1 victory over Philadelphia Union on the morning of March 30.

In round 6 of MLS 2025, Messi was on the bench when Inter Miami hosted Philadelphia Union. The 37-year-old superstar has not recovered physically, after missing the training session with the Argentina national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. However, it took him less than two minutes after coming off the bench to score.

Right at the beginning of the second half, the 8-time Ballon d'Or winner was brought onto the field by coach Javier Mascherano in the 55th minute. In the 57th minute, Messi received a pass from Luis Suarez on the right wing, made a quick move before firing a shot to raise the score to 2-0 for Inter Miami.

This is Messi's second goal in three MLS games this season, both coming off the bench. Messi has had a series of fitness issues since the start of the season. Two weeks ago, in Inter Miami's 2-1 win over Atlanta, Messi suffered a problem with his left thigh, which forced him to sit on the bench. However, after coming on, Leo immediately scored.

Before the match against Philadelphia, Messi's ability to play was still uncertain due to a muscle injury. At the last minute, Inter Miami's medical team confirmed that Messi was fit to play after resting and missing two World Cup qualifiers with Argentina. The three points earned in this match helped Inter Miami continue to lead the MLS Eastern Conference standings with 13 points after 5 matches.
