Fans claim Lionel Messi’s goal against Atlanta is ‘scripted’ 

A similar theme has emerged

In two games, he's scored three goals for his new club and seems to be loving life in the US.

Fresh off the back of his 94th minute winner against Cruz Azul on his debut, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner scored a brace on his first start for Inter Miami as they registered a 4-0 win against Atlanta United.

Messi also assisted one before being subbed off in the 70th minute in what has been the perfect start to life.

But fans have noticed that is almost identical to the same goal the Argentine scored for PSG against Lille, leading to some people believing that it was "scripted".

One user shared the goal with the caption: "This is more than scripted bro Messi is insane."

His comments drew lots of responses, with one person replying: "I understand why they think his whole life is scripted now."

Another tweeted: "His whole career seems scripted."

A third said: "Messi has to be studied in the universities."

Meanwhile others were not quite as certain, with one person saying: "A lot of football is repetition. You just got to have good positioning."
