Messi openly mocks his opponent

Lionel Messi didn't just score a double and assist in Inter Miami's 4-2 comeback against Orlando City; he also stirred excitement with a supremely arrogant taunt directed at the rival bench.

Immediately after completing his brace and helping his team surge ahead to a 4-2 lead, Lionel Messi created a sensational moment by turning toward the Orlando City bench and gesturing as if ready to give them... his autograph. This deeply suggestive action quickly became the focal point, capping off the Inter Miami captain's incredibly impressive comeback performance.

At Inter&Co Stadium, Inter Miami initially found themselves in a difficult position, trailing 0-2 within the first half. Marco Pasalic opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a volley following a sharp counter-attack, before Martin Ojeda doubled the lead just minutes later, stunning the visiting team.

However, everything changed after halftime. Coach Javier Mascherano brought on Mateo Silvetti, who immediately made an impact by reducing the deficit to 1-2 with a beautiful long-range shot just four minutes into the second half.

From this point, Messi began his masterclass performance. In the 57th minute, he fired a shot from outside the box to equalize at 2-2. As the match neared its end, the Argentine superstar continued to leave his mark by assisting Telasco Segovia to make it 3-2.

Not stopping there, in the 90th minute, after Orlando City was reduced to ten men due to Colin Guske's red card, Messi sealed the 4-2 victory with a world-class free-kick from about 25 meters out.

This marked Inter Miami's first-ever victory at Orlando City's stadium since the club's founding in 2020, while also helping them avoid a second consecutive defeat to start the season. In this fiery Florida derby, Messi not only made the difference with goals and an assist but also left his mark with a bold, taunting gesture—as if to affirm that he remains the biggest star in the game.
