Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez connect to open scoring for Inter Miami vs. Nashville SC
Nobody knows Luis Suárez like Lionel Messi.
The Inter Miami stars connected for an early goal eight minutes into Wednesday’s Concacaf Champions Cup match against Nashville SC in highlight fashion yet again.
Messi received a pass and found Suárez in stride, and the Uruguayan striker made sure it found the back of the net.
It’s like Messi knew exactly where Suárez was going to be, and placed the ball directly in his path.

It’s the fourth goal Suárez has scored in his Inter Miami stint, joining Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba as former FC Barcelona stars in Major League Soccer.
Messi later added a goal of his own as Inter Miami built a 2-0 first-half lead. It would go on to win, 3-1 (5-3 on aggregate) to advance to the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals.
