After scoring a goal for Inter Miami in his return from injury against LA Galaxy, Lionel Messi earned an MLS recognition.

Lionel Messi made a triumphant return from injury, leading Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory over the LA Galaxy on Saturday night.

In the West, Minnesota United FC pulled off a double over the Seattle Sounders for the first time in club history, while the Vancouver Whitecaps dropped points and San Diego FC found a late winner, meaning not much has shifted. The conference title is the expansion side's to lose at the moment.

Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba will miss Inter Miami’s next contest after being suspended one match for skipping the MLS All-Star Game.

“Nobody has done more for Major League Soccer than Lionel Messi,” he said. Garber’s remorseful response is a clear indication that the league fumbled an opportunity to amend its rule.

After announcing the departure of Drake Callender, Lionel Messi could soon see his Inter Miami squad boosted by a young star from his boyhood club, Newell’s Old Boys.
