Lionel Messi shines in Inter Miami draw in his last game before joining Argentina National Team for Copa America

In a thrilling finale before departing for international duty, Lionel Messi put on a dazzling display in Inter Miami's dramatic 3-3 draw against St. Louis City SC.

The Argentine maestro, looking sharp and healthy, orchestrated much of Miami's attacking play. His telepathic link with former Barcelona teammate Jordi Alba proved fruitful once again, as Alba not only set up Messi's goal but also netted a crucial equalizer in the dying minutes.

Despite going down early, Messi's composed finish drew his team level, showcasing his trademark ability to find the net even in high-pressure situations.

The entire night was a testament to Messi's leadership and playmaking prowess. Coach Tata Martino lauded both Messi and Alba for their efforts, highlighting their crucial role in securing a point.

With Messi departing to captain Argentina in their Copa America title defense, Inter Miami fans were left with a bittersweet feeling, having witnessed a glimpse of magic while knowing their star player would be absent for a significant stretch of the season.
