Lionel Messi became a two-goal scorer in his comeback after two months' absence due to injury.

The Argentine star scored two goals in four minutes halfway through the first half when his Inter Miami defeated Philadelphia Union 3–1 on Sunday night, Swedish time.

The truth is that I'm a bit tired, said Messi after the match.

The heat and humidity in Miami don't help either, but I really wanted to come back, I had been away from the pitch for a long time, continued Messi and added that he was very happy to be back.

The world star, who resumed training three weeks ago, injured his right ankle in the Copa America final on July 14, where Argentina defeated Colombia.

He missed eight matches for Inter Miami, which has advanced to the playoffs in the American football league MLS, as well as Argentina's latest World Championship qualifiers.
