Inter Miami may have only been back in preseason play for about five days or so but Lionel Messi didn't need long to score his first goal of 2025 facing Club America in Las Vegas or to show off a unique celebration.

André Jardine went with a strong lineup for the clash in Nevada, featuring Henry Martín up top, Luis Malagón in goal, and Álvaro Fidalgo pulling the strings in midfield. Of the starting XI, only Erick Sánchez had been part of Las Águilas’ squad in their Liga MX Apertura final against Monterrey last month.
