Lionel Messi may now be 39, but he still remains one of the most impressive players in world football.
He helped carry his Argentina side to the 2026 World Cup final in North America this summer, where they lost 1-0 to Spain.
Now, Messi has returned to club football action this month, most recently netting a brace in the Leagues Cup.
Inter Miami’s coach praised the Argentine’s first goal against Atletico de San Luis earlier this week, and the former FC Barcelona star has now been stunning fans thanks to recent training footage shared by his club team.
