It's going to be a very busy spring, summer, and fall for Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, who are led by Javier Mascherano in their defense of the Supporters' Shield and quest for a first MLS Cup.

Lionel Messi has been involved in two incidents. He was fined for a neck grab on an assistant coach, and a referee was banned for asking for Messi's autograph.

Messi first controlled a Luis Suárez cross via a deft touch with his chest, before letting the ball bounce and firing a half-volley past Kansas City keeper John Pulskamp at the near post. The goal put Miami ahead 2-0 on aggregate in the first-round matchup.
