Lionel Messi gets two goals, two assists in first Inter Miami start

Lionel Messi scored two goals and added two assists in a 4-0 win over Atlanta United as he and Sergio Busquets were both named in Inter Miami CF's starting lineup on Tuesday night for the first time since joining the MLS side.

It didn't take long for the former Barcelona teammates to make an impact, with Busquets lofting a perfect ball over Atlanta's defense to Messi, who missed with his first attempt but put back the rebound from his own shot to give Miami a 1-0 lead in the eighth minute.
