WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Messi has become a talismanic presence for Inter Miami, with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-mls-mvp-only-clown-disagree-ex-usmnt-star-taylor-twellman-inter-miami-superstar-rewriting-history/blt39d8b7dfad9797ba" target="_blank">current campaign seeing him generate MVP talk</a> after breaking into double figures for goals and assists. His latest strike came against Atlanta United, but was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-how-stop-lionel-messi-luis-suarez-atlanta-united-plan-mls-rivals-inter-miami-superstars-contained/blt0dd5c44305cb3fca" target="_blank">unable to see the Herons to another win as they went down 3-1 on home soil</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has never been invincible, despite appearing to be so at times, but he is accustomed to emerging victorious when hitting the back of the net. He <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-it-went-wrong-lionel-messi-psg/blt96ec5310265fdbfd" target="_blank">never suffered defeat when scoring for Paris Saint-Germain</a>, and had preserved that record after linking up with Inter Miami.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Their setback against Atlanta, after seeing their captain find the target, represents an unwanted first for Messi in the U.S. You have to turn the clock all the way back to May 16, 2021 and Barcelona’s 2-1 reversal against Celta Vigo to find the last time that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-vs-cristiano-ronaldo-ex-barcelona-portugal-star-deco-diplomatic-ideal-world-answer-goat-debate/bltd40c84d158ed2236" target="_blank">Messi scored and lost at club level</a>.</p>
