Lionel Messi just did it again—another magical performance that’s making waves in the soccer world. This time, it was his standout display against CF Montréal that stole the spotlight. Not only did he help Inter Miami secure a 4-2 win, but he also etched his name into the club’s history books.
With Inter Miami desperate for three points, they turned to their captain—and Messi delivered big time. The Argentine superstar scored two goals and added an assist, earning the Player of the Match award and breaking a massive club record in the process.
Messi is now officially the first player in Inter Miami history to record 50 goal contributions in the regular MLS season. Since joining the club in July 2023, he’s racked up an impressive 29 goals and 21 assists. That’s wild!
What’s even more impressive? Eleven of those contributions came just this season—and he missed some early games due to injury. Under head coach Javier Mascherano, Messi remains the team’s leading goal scorer and currently ranks third in assists for the season.
Earlier this year, Messi also became the fastest player in MLS history to hit 40 goal contributions. If he keeps up this red-hot form, there’s no doubt more records are on the way.
To date, Messi has scored a jaw-dropping 863 career goals, including 47 in Inter Miami’s signature pink jersey. Still, despite all his personal success, he has yet to lead the club to their first-ever MLS Cup title.
Last season, Inter Miami was considered a top favorite to lift the Philip F. Anschutz Trophy, but things didn’t go as planned—they were knocked out in the first round of the 2024 playoffs.
However, all hope isn’t lost. With the FIFA Club World Cup coming up this summer, there are still major trophies up for grabs. That said, the team needs to find their rhythm again—Inter Miami has only managed two wins in their last nine matches across all competitions. They’re currently sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
That means all eyes are on Messi. Can he inspire this inconsistent Inter Miami squad and turn them into real championship contenders?
Messi’s journey in MLS is far from over. Even at 37, he’s proving that age is just a number with the way he’s carrying the team and breaking records left and right. Now, fans are waiting to see if he can bring the big trophy home.
Stay tuned—because with Lionel Messi, anything is possible.
