Lionel Messi Wants to Break Another Record in the MLS With Inter Miami Against New England Revolution

The Argentine soccer star is preparing to break another record in this American league in the match against New England Revolution.

Next meeting with the possibility of writing another page in history

On Saturday, April 25, Inter Miami will face off against the New England Revolution for Matchday 10 of Major League Soccer. Beyond what the duel means in the Eastern Conference, the match brings a special twist: Lionel Messi is just six goal contributions away from reaching a historic milestone in the league.

The current numbers, the record to break, and the last match

The Argentine captain has so far scored 57 goals and provided 37 assists in 61 matches with the Herons. That production puts him on the verge of becoming the fastest player to reach 100 goal contributions in MLS. The current record belongs to Sebastian Giovinco, who needed 95 matches to achieve it at Toronto FC. Messi could surpass it with more than 30 matches to spare, reaffirming his impact on American soccer.

The 2-0 victory against Real Salt Lake left Guillermo Hoyos' team in second place in the Eastern Conference with 18 points. In that match, Leo couldn't add any goals or assists, but his influence remains decisive: since his arrival in 2023, he has been involved in practically one out of every two goals for Inter Miami, a statistic that reflects both his talent and his collective contribution.

Lionel Messi and his presence in the MLS

In less than three full seasons, Messi has already won four titles and revolutionized the league with each appearance. His presence elevates the competitive level, boosts the club's brand, and strengthens the bond with the fans. The clash against New England will be another opportunity for the "Little Flea" to write another chapter in his career, with the chance to break a record that seemed unattainable.
