Fans are loving a video of Lionel Messi organising Inter Miami's defence against FC Dallas as they hailed his 'leadership'.
Messi produced another masterful performance for his new side as he bagged a stunning brace to steer his team into the next round of the Leagues Cup.
He opened the scoring in the sixth minute then levelled the game five minutes from time with a stunning free-kick to send the game into a penalty shootout.

Inter Miami went onto book their spot in the next round of the competition following their 5-3 penalty shootout victory.
The 36-year-old didn't just get on the score-sheet and convert his spot-kick, but also showed off his leadership qualities and justified being made club captain.
During a FC Dallas set-piece, the Argentine can be seen talking to his teammates to sort the defensive wall.
The clip shows him orchestrating the defence before telling Josef Martínez to take up a position in the wall.
