Messi is a little average every year! He breaks into double teams in the penalty area! He leads the team to reverse, win and advance to the finals with cooperation!

August 28. Miami International beat Orlando City 3-1 in the North American League Cup semi-finals. Messi made a comeback and became the MVP again. He scored twice, including a key goal in cooperation with teammate Alba. Miami International's goal to equalize the score also came from Messi, which was a penalty kick. This is Messi's second penalty kick in several months. Since winning the 2022 World Cup, Messi has only 3 penalty kicks, with a 100% shooting shooting rate, which can be said to be a little average every year.

Messi is really struggling to have a penalty kick. First of all, his playing style does not support creating points. As long as Messi doesn't really lose balance and fall to the ground, even if he just falls to the ground, Messi will continue to break through with the ball instead of diving. Moreover, in order to hold the ball, Messi will try to control his body balance even if he is fouled, so it seems that the opponent has not fouled, so the referee will not give him any points. On the other hand, many of Miami International's creation points were ignored by the referee.

In this game, Messi even faced double-teams of 9 opponents, including goalkeepers, and was still able to break through from outside the penalty area to inside the penalty area. However, because the opponent's number is too large, it is difficult for Messi to shoot, so this round was not fulfilled to an effective end. However, Messi's feat of fighting against the entire team alone was still talked about by fans.

This is why Messi's game often attracts tens of thousands of fans to watch the game. He can not only lead the team to reverse, win, advance to the finals and win the championship at critical moments, but also create a full viewing scene in those rounds that are not threatening.

The last time the two teams met, Messi was absent, and Miami International was beaten 1-4 by Orlando City. This time Messi made a comeback, Miami International reversed 3-1 and eliminated Miami International. From here we can see again how strong Messi's impact on a team and a game is.
