Argentine star Lionel Messi continued his remarkable brilliance in the American Football League, after he led Inter Miami to achieve an exciting victory over Nashville, a score of 2-1, to strengthen his team’s position in competing for the top of the eastern section, and is personally approaching a historical record that has been steadfast since 2018.
The lead struggle
With this victory, Messi’s balance rose to 16 goals in the league during the 2025 season, to share the top scorers with Nashville striker Sam Sorridge. Messi’s brilliance comes at an ideal time for Inter Miami, who continued his distinguished results by achieving his fifth consecutive victory, with a series of six games without defeat, which made him compete strongly at the top of the ranking.
A standard number waving
Messi is close to a new achievement in his career, as he became only one goal from breaking the record number of goals in consecutive matches, and registered in the name of Venezuelan Joseph Martinez with 11 goals in 6 consecutive meetings. The Argentine star actually made this number, and has the opportunity to be alone in the next match.
Usaged dualism
It is noteworthy that Messi also continued to score at least at least in each of his last five matches, which is an unprecedented achievement in the history of the American League, which reflects his technical and physical superiority despite overcoming the age of 37 years.
Exceptional numbers
Since joining Inter Miami, Messi raised his score to 56 goals and made 25 assists in 66 official matches in various championships, bypassing the Gonzalo Higuain number as the best scorer in the club’s history. He had finished last season with 20 goals, but he did not win the top scorer at the time, which was settled by Christian Benteke with 23 goals.
New global achievement
At the global level, Messi reached his number 872 in his professional career, achieving a unique achievement as the first player in history to score 100 goals from outside the penalty area (except for free kicks), a number that enhances his position as a unique football legend in the history of the game.
