(VIDEO) Inter de Miami vs Philadelphia Union, Lionel Messi scored twice and what is needed for him to surpass Higuaín

Lionel Messi returned after the injury he had with the Argentine National Team and he did it in the best way. On the 10th he scored a double against in Inter de Miami vs Piladelphia Union and made it clear that he is intact after being off the field for around two months. Other issues that stand out about Messi's goals is that he is only two goals away from equaling Gonzalo Higuaín.

In the short time that Lionel Messi arrived at Inter Miami vs Philadelphia Union he scored 27 goals, Gonzalo Higuaín, on the other hand, has 29 goals. That is, he is only 2 goals away from breaking the former Inter forward's record. It seems that it will be a matter of one or at most two games for Messi to go down in history as the top scorer in the history of David Beckham's team.

Lionel Messi never tires of breaking records, and there is no doubt that the MLS will not be the exception. Many say that the level is not the best, however, Messi looked intact in the recent América Cup. He was decisive in several games and above all he showed that leadership on the field of play. The challenge now is to maintain that level in these games so that he can reach the 2026 World Cup in the United States.
