Lionel Messi does it again – Argentinian superstar scores within two minutes after return from injury layoff (Video)

Set to turn 38 this summer, Lionel Messi still doesn’t need much time or space to win a game for his team.

Having returned from an injury layoff to make a substitute appearance for Inter Miami against Philadelphia Union in the 55th minute, with the score standing at 1-0, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner scored within two minutes to double his team’s lead. His goal proved crucial as the visitors reduced the gap through Daniel Gazdag 10 minutes before the 90 expired.
