Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi is renowned as one of the best free-kick shooters of all time, and on Monday, he demonstrated why when he scored an incredible goal for Inter Miami from the penalty spot.
Lionel Messi becomes the top scorer for Inter Milan with four goals in four games
Miami tied the game against FC Dallas at 4-4 with a goal from Messi in the 85th minute and went on to defeat FC Dallas 5-4 on penalties to advance in the League Cup.
Messi’s free kicks are notable for their strength, precision, and curve. Even at a distance, he can produce a lot of power with his kicks. He is also incredibly accurate.
He scored against Dallas using his renowned left foot, sending the ball past custodian Maarten Paes and into the upper corner of the goal.
HE DID IT AGAIN. 🤯

Inter Milna will play in round 16.
Inter Miami will face the winner of Monday night’s match between Charlotte FC and Houston in the League Cup quarterfinals thanks to its victory in the round of 16.
Messi’s free kicks are genuinely amazing, and because of their curvature, which makes it impossible for goalkeepers to predict where the ball will land, they are also very difficult to save.
Messi has seven goals overall after scoring in each of Inter Miami’s first four games.
The fifth match in Texas in Messi’s illustrious career had a kickoff temperature of 38 degrees Celsius.
