Messi was directly involved in all four goals during Miami’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Nashville SC. He scored two goals in the first half to give his side the lead, then added two assists in the second half, setting up teammate Tadeo Allende. With those assists, Messi reached a historic milestone becoming the first active player to record 400 career assists across club and country.
The Argentine legend now has 404 assists in his career, putting him close to the all-time record held by Ferenc Puskás. His performance against Nashville was yet another reminder of his dominance: in the past three weeks alone, Messi has faced Nashville four times and scored eight goals against them.
This season, Messi has already claimed the MLS Golden Boot, and his combined tally of 61 goals and assists underscores his unmatched influence on the pitch. Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano praised Messi’s leadership, noting not only his skill with the ball but also his relentless pressing at age 38.
Inter Miami will now face FC Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference semifinals later this month. With Messi in this form, Miami’s dream of lifting their first MLS Cup feels closer than ever.
