Inter Miami’s La Familia, the pulsating pink pack of ardent supporters, rocked the north stands of Chase Stadium Saturday night, singing, banging drums, doing their part to energize Lionel Messi and his teammates in a critical home game against Charlotte FC.

Lionel Messi helped a young pitch invader evade security during Saturday night's clash between Inter Miami and Charlotte – and fan footage of the incident has gone viral. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner scored his 15th goal of the MLS season as Inter Miami maintained their eight-match unbeaten run in the league.

After a disappointing spell at Paris Saint-Germain in comparison to his usually incredible standards, Messi moved to Inter Miami last summer with a point to prove and boy, has he done just that. In 32 appearances for the club, he's recorded 44 goal contributions. That's quite the return from a player who turned 37 years old in June.
