Lionel Messi has once again made football history in the United States, setting an unprecedented record in MLS.
The Argentine star has become the only player in MLS history to register more than 30 goal contributions — goals and assists combined — in three different seasons.
This historic record was completed during his latest appearance for Inter Miami, a match that carried particular emotional significance for Messi, as it was his first game since announcing his final retirement from the Argentina national team.
In the clash against Atlanta United, Messi once again showcased his magic in the first half. He delivered a perfectly executed corner kick, with Brazilian midfielder Casemiro arriving at just the right moment to head the ball into the net.
Messi’s assist proved crucial for Inter Miami, who ultimately secured a 2-2 draw against Atlanta United.
However, beyond the result, the match will go down in history for another reason. Messi has now become the first and only player in MLS history to surpass 30 goal contributions in three different seasons, setting yet another remarkable record during his American adventure.
