Inter Miami has roared into the Leagues Cup Finals, blitzing the Philadelphia Union with an exhilarating four-goal spectacle. The highlight? Lionel Messi‘s thunderous 20th-minute strike from an astonishing 34.7 yards out. It left keeper Andre Blake rooted as the 7x Ballon d’Or winner continued his stunning displays in the US. While his performances have consistently made headlines, some fans aren’t too impressed with La Pulga‘s latest feat.

The match ended with Inter Miami taking the win and advancing to the Final of the Leagues Cup. Inter Miami will now face Nashville FC at Geodis Park. The buildup ahead of that game will understandably focus on Messi, but that will make certain sections of soccer fans annoyed.

This epic moment marks Messi’s second-longest club career goal. It was a feat reminiscent of his Barcelona days when he dazzled the world with a similar awe-inspiring strike from 34.9 yards against Mallorca back in 2012. Considering it’s Messi, he’s bound to do extraordinary things and keep his fans and viewers entertained and in awe whenever he puts his foot on the pitch. However, some fans have claimed it had more to do with the goalkeeping than Messi’s greatness.

Watching the goal now, one can say that the goalkeeper was at fault. With a shot power that low and from that distance, it was a little surprising to see the keeper not even getting a touch on the ball as it went past him. However, that’s what Messi has always done; leave defenders and keepers stumped.
