On a brilliant night with Inter Miami in MLS, the Rosario-born star achieved this impressive milestone and, at the same time, moved closer to 900 goals in his career
At 38 years old, Lionel Messi continues to expand his legacy. In Inter Miami's 4-0 win over Nashville, the Rosario native reached an unprecedented milestone: 400 assists in his professional career.
On a night when he also excelled with two goals for Las Garzas, the record was sealed with a signature play from his repertoire: a precise right-footed pass, which resulted in Tadeo Allende's goal that definitively settled the match.
Messi reached this impressive milestone with four different teams:
In addition to his new record as an assist provider, the world champion has reached 894 official goals, just six away from 900, a figure that for now only Cristiano Ronaldo has surpassed with his 953 goals. This is a number that seems increasingly within reach for a footballer who, despite the passage of time, keeps unparalleled relevance.
With this outstanding performance from their captain, Inter Miami advanced to the MLS Eastern Conference semifinals, where they will face FC Cincinnati in pursuit of another final to crown a season that continues to add chapters to Messi's legend.
