Fans can't get enough of Lionel Messi's outrageous, defence-splitting pass for Inter Miami against Nashville on Thursday.

Messi fired blank as Inter Miami played out a goalless draw with Nashville in a Major League Soccer clash.

But he was at his wizardry best as he influenced the match but was unable to inspire his side to victory.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner created a sensational opening, with Jordi Alba failing to complete the move.

In the 27th minute, Messi produced a moment of magic to find his former Barcelona club colleague.

He pierced an incredible ball to Alba, breaking not one but THREE lines to pick him out.

The Spaniard attempted to cut onto his right foot when he received the ball but couldn't get a shot at goal.

Despite the failed sequence, people on social media praised Messi's vision and pass.

One X user wrote: "This pass is disgusting, any league any defence this pass is filthy."

A second added: "Wizard Messi... nobody comes close."

A third commented: "Eye of the needle."

A fourth said: "Broke like 3 lines."

A fifth bemoaned: "Why did Alba waste this pass."

Inter Miami have been on an incredible streak since Messi's arrival, with the club winning their first-ever trophy in the shape of the Leagues Cup.

The Florida-based club have another final to look forward to as they face Houston Dynamo in the US Open Cup final next month.

They resume their MLS campaign next Monday when they travel to California to take on Los Angeles FC.
