Lionel Messi has been honoured by MLS club Inter Miami following his heroics for Argentina at the recently concluded Copa America which saw the 37-year-old lead the team to retain the continental title.
That win saw Messi claim a 45th career title and Inter Miami prepared a reception in front of a packed Chase Stadium before the MLS match against visiting Chicago Fire.
Goals from Matias Rojas and Jordi Alba ensured the celebrations were not dampened as Inter Miami claimed a hard-fought 2-1 win to stay top of the Eastern Conference with 53 points after 25 matches.
Messi, though, is likely to miss a few more matches for Inter Miami having limped out of the Copa America final against Colombia with an injury.
