WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Football fan <span></span>@Galaxysseus couldn't believe what Messi was up to, posting on X: "Lmfao. Cold. Blooded. GOAT."</p><p>"Lionel Messi, there. Taking the absolute p*ss. Again. No man’s safe. Pulled a hammy? ACL? Tight groin? Lionel isn’t arsed. Ya getting rinsed," was the verdict from <span>@trekuartista9.</span></p><p>Meanwhile, <span>@david_b712</span> was also left amazed by the World Cup winner: "I mean come on this is just insane. Guy is down injured and #Messi𓃵 just bounces it right over him like it’s no big deal 🤣"</p><p>Elsewhere, there was some sympathy for Messi's latest victim from @megan_feringa: "<span>Imagine being the guy on the ground having to reconcile with the fact Messi looks at you and sees nothing more than a human training cone, the mental spiral would be tragic."</span></p><p><span>The Inter Miami superstar's intelligence was also praised by </span><span>@Vicktour_Oh</span>: "<span>Only Messi would Chip over an injuried player just to get his shot off INTELLIGENCE 99%</span>."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Lmfao <br><br>Cold.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Messi's Miami team-mate Robert Taylor also expressed his amazement afterwards. He told reporter <a href="https://twitter.com/FrancoPanizo/status/1760523743477055950" target="_blank">Franco Panizo</a>: "The was insane. I couldn't believe he did that."</p>

WHAT ROBERT TAYLOR SAID

<p>Messi certainly looked in great shape as Inter Miami forget all about their pre-season tour troubles and started the new campaign with a good win. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-playing-free-tata-martino-reluctant-discuss-mls-play-offs-inter-miami-one-game/blt39b8ec292ce81606#cs86cfa538a5af9521" target="_blank">Manager Tata Martino admitted after the game Messi was "playing free"</a> but refused to get carried away about his team's chances this season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Inter Miami now head off for their first away game of the season. The Herons take on LA Galaxy next on Sunday.</p>
