The 2nd goal of Inter Miami was a near-perfect replica of FC Barcelona's iconic goal against Tottenham Hotspurs in the UEFA Champions League 2018/19 season.
It was Lionel Messi who started the build-up of the goal, and Jordi Alba's cross from the left side was laid in the path of Luis Suarez, who performed a dummy move over the ball, which presented a great chance for Lionel Messi to score on the near post of Hugo Lloris.
A user on Instagram posted an edit of the two goals, and the video has now gone viral.
