Inter Miami CF captain Leo Messi has been named to the Major League Soccer (MLS) Team of the Matchday presented by Audi for week 8 of the 2026 regular season. The Argentine maestro earns TOTM honors after his instrumental role in Inter Miami’s 2-3 win on the road over Colorado Rapids on Saturday.
Messi secures a fourth TOTM selection this regular season after bagging a brace to power Inter Miami to victory at a packed Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado with 75,824 – the second highest attendance in MLS history. Our captain first opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 18th minute of play, before scoring our winning-goal in spectacular fashion in the 80th minute.
