Lionel Messi nets first MLS hat-trick in Inter Miami triumph over New England (Video)

At the age of 37, Lionel Messi still works his magic.

The Argentinian was on the bench for Inter Miami’s recent 6-2 thrashing of New England Revolution. His team went two goals down as Luca Langoni and Dylan Borrero struck for the visitors, but Luis Suarez struck twice to level the score before halftime. Benjamin Cremaschi scored Inter’s third in the 58th minute, and if the New England defenders thought they’d already had it bad, that was the moment when Messi came on.

Messi did Messi things 🐐
