In case anyone was wondering if Lionel Messi still has his magic touch over in the land of fast food and open highways, wonder no more! This weekend, our favorite football wizard sprinkled a little more magic dust as Inter Miami positively demolished New York Red Bulls with a staggering 5-1 victory on their own turf. And who was at the center of this sporting spectacle? Well, the sprightly 38-year-old Argentine himself, of course!

Kicking off the match like a finely tuned accordion at a village wedding, Messi scored not one—but a magnificent six pairs of goals over the last seven games he's played. It's enough to make you think he's been practicing with the local corn husking team for a bit of agility training!

Residents of New York might not have been ready for the show Messi put on at their beloved stadium, with many likely clutching their hot dogs and pretending not to be impressed. “We just came here for pretzels and a bit of fresh air,” remarked one generously quoted local fan, whose face definitely did not show any signs of desperation as Messi danced around the defense like a goat at a garlic festival.

Messi’s performances have been like a homemade plum brandy—only getting better with age. Someone ought to tell him that 38 is the new 28 in the football world; a little spry spring chicken flitting around, leaving the opposition scratching their heads.

Now, I'll leave you with this thought, dear readers: if Messi keeps up this pace, might we see him playing into his 40s? Perhaps with a cane fashioned into a football boot, showing the younglings how it's really done at 45! Stay tuned, because as long as he's playing, we've got something dazzling to report. Who knows, maybe our local team could give him a call—they've been looking for an extra leg to stand on at the village tournaments.
