Inter Miami fell behind inside 60 seconds against the Revolution, but came storming back to claim three more points. Messi had them level before half-time, and got their noses in front just past the hour mark. Benjamin Cremaschi and Luis Suarez wrapped up the win late on.

Messi has been in stunning form of late, after shaking off a troublesome hamstring complaint, and is delighting in a productive run for Inter Miami that has seen them pick up three successive victories. The all-time great posted on social media after the latest of those triumphs: “Another win to keep adding up!”

The wins certainly are stacking up for Inter Miami, as they sit top of the MLS Eastern Conference. They now hold a three-point lead over the chasing pack, although they have played a game more than closest rivals FC Cincinnati.
