On a pressure-filled trip to Nashville in the heart of the playoff race, Messi delivered a vintage hat-trick and an assist to drag Inter Miami to a statement 5–2 win. Beyond the numbers, it was the way he took control of the match—dictating tempo, finishing moves and killing Nashville’s momentum—that underlined his ability to decide MLS games almost single-handedly this late in his career.
