Messi Returns from Injury and Saves Inter Miami

Lionel Messi returned and helped his team, Inter Miami, avoid defeat in the MLS, drawing 2-2 with Colorado Rapids. Messi scored shortly after coming onto the field in the second half and assisted Leo Afonso in scoring the second goal just two minutes later. However, Colorado player Cole Bassett equalized in the 88th minute, and the match ended 2-2 on Saturday evening. This was Messi's first appearance with Inter Miami since an injury forced him to exit a CONCACAF Champions Cup match against Nashville on March 13. Leo missed four matches for Inter Miami since then, in addition to two matches with the Argentine national team. The little magician wasted no time in announcing his strong return on Saturday.
