Messi, 36, has now managed 11 goals in his first seven appearances for the US outfit.

He had only featured in the Leagues Cup and the US Open Cup before making his debut in the MLS.

Inter Miami were facing New York Red Bulls and had taken the lead in the 37th minute through Diego Gomez.

But it was in the 89th minute that Inter Miami showed their new talent with former Barcelona stars such as Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets all linking up together.

Busquets played an aeriel ball into the box which was then outrageously bicycle-kicked by Alba to Messi.

The forward then made a ridiculous pass through two defenders to the rushing Benja Cremaschi who then returned the ball to Messi for an open goal tap-in.

One fan tweeted: “Messi has these guys playing like prime Barcelona.”

A second commented: “What kind of pass is that… Is Messi mad!? What kind of unrealistic pass is that!!!”

A third wrote: “Messi’s innovation there was just next level. Come on man! How do you make a pass like that!”

A fourth said: “Messi is a cheat. He has to tell us who he really is. Not human.”

A fifth added: “These are the passes you do in FIFA 23 not real life – 5D vision.”

While another joked: “Bro is inventing football hacks.”

Inter Miami went on to win the game 2-0 and have climbed off the bottom of the Western Conference as they leapfrogged Toronto into 14th.

Earlier in the week, Messi’s wife hilariously hugged Alba during celebrations – with fans convinced Antonela Roccuzzo did not recognise he was not her husband.
