Inter Miami boss Javier Mascherano has defended Lionel Messi's 'unquestionable' teammate amid his goal drought.

Nashville SC headed to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in hopes of keeping its 15-game unbeaten streak alive. But the streak had to stop at some point, and it did July 12 in front of the Inter Miami fans at Chase Stadium, where two goals from Lionel Messi pushed Inter Miami past Nashville SC 2-1.

Lionel Messi has played 90-plus minutes in 14 consecutive games heading into Inter Miami home game vs. Nashville on Saturday.
