Lionel Messi fans were in a cheerful mood on social media and took digs at Cristiano Ronaldo following Inter Miami's win over Atlanta United. The MLS side won their second game in a row and sealed a place in the Round of 32 of the Leagues Cup.
Messi scored a first-half brace and then set up Robert Taylor early in the second half to help his new side seal a comfortable 4-0 win. They are now on top of their Leagues Cup group and have qualified for the next round.
