Lionel Messi grabs 2 assists as Inter Miami beats reigning champions LAFC in Los Angeles

On Sunday, there were flashbacks of their Barcelona days as the old friends combined for a textbook goal that surely made David Beckham and Inter Miami ownership smile. That combination was the second goal of Miami’s eventual 3-1 win over reigning MLS Cup champions LAFC at a sold out BMO Stadium.
