Inter Miami is set to return to MLS action this weekend as they take on the LA Galaxy, the MLS champions. The game will be played at Chase Stadium and will be the Herons' last MLS game before returning to Leagues Cup action next week.

The Argentine superstar had missed numerous scoring chances in his return from injury Saturday night against the LA Galaxy, but in the match's waning minutes, Messi scored the go-ahead goal, then assisted on another to help lift Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory.
