Miami 3-1, Messi doubles and instigates! The outcome is determined in 3 games of the MLS playoffs, with less chance

This morning, most people across China are celebrating the weekend. Fans who like Messi can appreciate the high-level performance of the ball king in late autumn without staying up late. This is Messi's first appearance after re-signing with Miami, and also his first appearance after winning the Golden Boot in the regular season this season.

Yes, Messi made another double strike in the first game of the playoffs today and instigated a goal to help the team defeat its old rival. Messi's first goal was assisted by Su Ya. The connection and cooperation between the two old Barcelona teammates are really tacit.

The most amazing thing is that Messi's first goal today was actually a header. Some people always think that Messi's goal is a clever shot, but today Messi's header was a strike from the ground, so powerful that the goalkeeper had no reaction.

Messi's second goal was a miss, and fans saw Messi's easy goal again. As the old saying goes, being able to pick up mistakes means you have good movement, and the ball king will always be where he should be.

Miami's second goal today was also instigated by Messi. The ball king passed the ball accurately, found the wide player, then crossed the ball, and finally scored with a header. This kind of pass is a basic operation for Messi.

The first round of the MLS playoffs is determined by three games. There is no draw in each game. Even a penalty shootout will determine the winner. This is very different from other events. Some people say that this competition system is weird, but I think it is more objective and fair. Although penalty kicks are accidental, it is less accidental than relying on away goals to calculate the outcome.

Of course, the strength gap between the MLS teams is not very big, and the ones ranked higher may not be able to win the ones ranked lower. This is also one of the reasons why Messi is competing for the playoff championship this season. Of course, people work hard, but God also needs help. I hope Messi can win another championship before next year's World Cup.
