Lionel Messi continued his great brilliance in American stadiums, this time when he scored a hat-trick with his team Inter Miami during the 6-2 victory over New England Revolution.
The Argentine star did not participate in the match from the beginning, but came on as a substitute in the 57th minute while the score indicated that his team was leading 3-2.
Messi quickly succeeded in scoring his first goal and Inter Miami’s fourth in the 78th minute, then scored the fifth goal in the 81st minute, and concluded the hat-trick in the 89th minute with a goal created by Luis Suarez, who also created his first goal..
One of the striking things was that Messi headed to the middle of the field after scoring one of the goals, then performed a bow and arrow celebration towards his children in the stands.
Messi did Messi things 🐐

This celebration has been done by more than one star recently, each with their own motives. For example, Mohamed Salah did it with Liverpool and said it was because of a wrestling match he followed, while the players of the Egyptian Zamalek club do it because it represents the club’s logo
Messi raised his goal tally this season with Inter Miami to 17 goals in 18 matches, in addition to making 18 assists.
