Class is eternal - Lionel Messi has not played for Inter Majmi since June 2nd - after that date he went to the America's Cup, where he was injured in his Argentina's victory in the final against Colombia (1:0).

His return after three and a half months was magnificent - the Argentinian virtuoso scored a double and an assist in a 3:1 win over Philadelphia in the MLS league

Philadelphia took the lead in the 2th minute, Messi converted in four minutes (once assisted by Luis Suarez), and the goals je gave in 26, p 30rd minute.

And for the first time in the season, the "quartet" from Barcelona was on the field - along with Sergio Busquets and Giordi Alba. It was Luis Suarez who scored at the eighth minute allowances for Messi's assist for the final result.

"I'm a little tired. The humidity and the weather in Miami were not my allies. But I couldn't wait to return to the field, I was out of the game for too long and now I'm very happy," Messi said.

Suarez has scored five goals in Miami's last three matches - already the league's second top scorer. Messi is back in the top 5.

With his goals, Leo reached the figure of 840 goals and is the second top scorer in football history, ahead of only Cristiano Ronaldo who crossed the 900 goal mark.

On the other hand, Pistolero is in a different race - he is second on the list of goalscorers for the season in MLS. With 17 goals, the Uruguayan overtook Cristiano Arango and Denis Bouanga, but they each played 25 matches, while Luis had 21 appearances. The first on the list is Christian Benteke from DC United - 19 goals in 25 games.

However, Suarez is in top form with five goals in the last three games, he scored a double before going to the farewell match for the Uruguay national team.
