Lionel Messi once again showcased his unparalleled brilliance on the soccer field, solidifying his status as one of the greatest players in the sport’s history.
In a monumental feat, Messi etched his name in MLS history by becoming the first player to deliver five assists in a single game, alongside contributing to six goals during Inter Miami’s resounding 6-2 victory over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night.
This performance marked a standout moment for Messi since his triumphant World Cup win with Argentina in Qatar back in 2022. His remarkable display propelled Inter Miami to score an astonishing six goals within just 36 minutes in the second half.
Messi himself found the back of the net in the 50th minute, while Inter Miami’s recent acquisition, Matias Rojas, netted twice in the 48th and 62nd minutes. Additionally, Luis Suárez sealed the victory with a spectacular hat trick, scoring in the 68th, 75th, and 81st minutes, further highlighting Messi’s influence on the game.
