There are athletes who, even in partial health, carry the gravitational pull of inevitability — and Lionel Messi demonstrated as much on a Saturday night in Fort Lauderdale. Returning from a hamstring injury that had briefly interrupted his MLS season, the Argentine entered at halftime and, in the match's final stretch, scored and assisted to lift Inter Miami past the LA Galaxy 3-1. The performance was less a comeback story than a reminder that some forces in sport do not diminish so much as pause.
