Lionel Messi stands on the cusp of breaking multiple records that could further deepen his legacy in the MLS for Inter Miami.
Currently, Messi has scored 28 goals in all competitions, just a hat-trick away from equalling Inter Miami forward Leonardo Campana’s record of 31 goals.
Campana recently surpassed Gonzalo Higuain’s previous mark of 26 goals, making this a thrilling chase for the Argentine maestro.
Manchester City legend Francis Lee, who died of cancer in October 2023, ensured his family will live comfortably before he passed away.
Lionel Messi’s impressive goal tally places him in a prime position to break Campana’s record in the upcoming matches.
Wayne Rooney has sparked concerns about his wellbeing following his appearance at Old Trafford during Manchester United's loss to Tottenham.
With Messi’s renowned scoring prowess, fans are eager to see if he can net three goals in a game, propelling him into the history books.
It’s worth noting that Luis Suárez, another key figure at Inter Miami, has made significant contributions as well, currently sitting at 21 goals.
Marc Bernal has signed a new contract at Barcelona that has a hefty release clause of 500 million euros.
In addition to his goal-scoring feats, Messi is also close to breaking the record for the most assists at Inter Miami.
He currently has 17 assists in just 33 appearances, putting him just one assist shy of Robert Taylor’s record of 18 assists in 106 appearances.
This achievement is even more impressive considering the significant impact Messi has had in fewer matches. For comparison, Jordi Alba has 15 assists in 46 appearances, while Campana, the current goal record holder, has provided 7 assists.
While Messi is poised to break records in goals and assists, some milestones remain elusive.
Samuel Eto'o has been banned from attending Cameroon matches over misconduct which will rule him out of the doble header between the Indomitable Lions and Harambee Stars.
The record for the most appearances at Inter Miami is held by Drake Callender and Robert Taylor, with 110 and 106 appearances, respectively.
Given Messi’s recent transition into MLS, he has some ground to cover before he can challenge these marks.
