The Galaxy is having a season worth forgetting. Despite being less than a year removed from winning the MLS Cup, one of the league’s founding members had a horrific start to the season and, despite posting a decent showing in the Leagues Cup, is on its way to a disappointing result.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Inter Miami hosted the reigning MLS champions LA Galaxy in a match that saw Lionel Messi return from injury. After missing two weeks due to a muscle injury in his right leg, Messi didn’t start the match but later came on as a second-half substitute. Rodrigo De Paul also entered the game in the second half.

Lionel Messi is back. In his first game after returning from a hamstring injury that kept him out since Aug. 2, Messi scored his 19th goal of the season before sending a backheel assist to Luis Suárez, who scored, bringing Inter Miami to a 3-1 win over the LA Galaxy on Saturday night.
