Believe it or not, Lionel Messi is occasionally a mere mortal after all.
For the first time since joining Inter Miami, the superstar was held without a goal or assist in the club's scoreless draw against Nashville SC. It was also the first time in nine matches since Messi joined Miami that the club didn't come away with a victory.
Not that Messi didn't have moments of absolute brilliance, of course, with some visionary passes and a last-gasp shot that was saved after he shook several Nashville defenders.
He's also a major draw, with some sporting legends in attendance to watch him (and photograph him, at that):
