Lionel Messi BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Lionel Messi is back in the headlines after a dramatic return from a hamstring injury that kept him out of Inter Miami’s last two matches. On Saturday night, Messi came off the bench at halftime against the LA Galaxy in front of an electric home crowd and put on a show that reminded everyone exactly why he carries the GOAT label. According to FOX Sports, with the score tied late, Messi picked up the ball nearly 40 yards out, beat multiple defenders in trademark style, and unleashed a clinical left-footed strike to put Miami up for good. The celebration barely ended before Messi then delivered a cheeky back heel assist to Luis Suarez for the exclamation point, sealing a 3-1 win. With the goal, Messi now leads Major League Soccer with 19 for the season, pushing Inter Miami back up the table as they chase a second straight Supporters’ Shield, just five points off the lead with three games in hand.

According to the LA Times, Messi’s return wasn’t just about the stats—his presence on the pitch shifted the energy, with coach Javier Mascherano emphasizing Messi’s relentless desire to play and his critical influence after Miami’s embarrassing 4-1 loss to Orlando last week. Mascherano noted Messi looked better as the game went on but admitted the team will monitor his recovery closely, since there were moments where Messi seemed to be protecting his right leg. MLSsoccer.com added that while Messi finished the match, questions linger about whether he is entirely free of discomfort, especially with a high-stakes Leagues Cup quarterfinal versus Mexican powerhouse Tigres UANL looming this coming Wednesday.

On the business and community front, Messi took time out this week to visit with young talents at the Inter Miami academy, a moment captured and shared on Instagram, delighting fans and fueling another round of buzz on social media. His hashtag remains a mainstay on Instagram Reels and fan accounts, continually generating millions of views as he shares both club and personal content.

No major new sponsorships or non-football business ventures have surfaced in the past few days, though his profile is as high as ever thanks to this latest return. There’s no shortage of speculation about Messi’s fitness for upcoming matches, but as of now, all official statements downplay lingering concerns. Headlines across global outlets reflect the same truth—Messi’s magic remains very much intact and biographically, this comeback further cements his legacy as the sport's biggest star.
