Lionel Messi has sent a message to Barcelona as the Inter Miami forward celebrates an 'amazing' anniversary.

Argentina captain Lionel Messi provided two assists in the 6-0 win over Puerto Rico, reaching 60 total to surpass Neymar (58) and Landon Donovan (58) as the top assist-maker in men’s international football history.
