Messi Hat-Trick Powers Inter Miami's 7-1 Rout of Montreal

Inter Miami put on a show at home, blitzing CF Montreal 7-1 in a result that turned into a one-man showcase for Lionel Messi. The Argentine was at his brilliant best, capping a rout that had Inter Miami in cruise control from start to finish. Casemiro opened the scoring in the 20th minute, and Fabian Herbers pulled one back for the visitors in the 37th before a Luca Petrasso own goal three minutes later restored Miami's cushion. Lionel Messi then took charge, striking in the 52nd, 83rd, and stoppage-time minutes for his hat-trick, while Luis Suarez (80') and Alexander Shaw (89') piled on more goals in a ruthless second-half surge. For Inter Miami, the result underlines their status as one of MLS's most fearsome attacking sides heading into the playoff stretch. For CF Montreal, it's a heavy defeat exposing defensive frailties and adding urgency to their push for postseason survival.
