Lionel Messi Sets New MLS Record With Fourth Straight Multi-Goal Game for Inter Miami
MIAMI, FL — July 10, 2025
Lionel Messi delivered yet another unforgettable performance on Wednesday night, scoring both goals in Inter Miami’s 2-1 win over the New England Revolution and becoming the first player in Major League Soccer history to record multi-goal performances in four straight matches.
The Argentine legend opened the scoring in the 27th minute after capitalizing on a defensive error, firing a crisp half-volley into the net after a misjudged header by New England’s Tanner Beason. Just 11 minutes later, Messi doubled Miami’s lead, sprinting onto a precise through ball from Sergio Busquets and slotting it low into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
Inter Miami, now riding a four-game winning streak, improves to 10-3-5 on the season and remains unbeaten in its last five outings. Messi’s brilliance has been central to this surge, with the 38-year-old contributing eight goals during this historic scoring run.
Head coach Javier Mascherano couldn’t hold back admiration for his former Argentina teammate, stating, “Leo’s on another level. What we’re witnessing week after week is something beyond normal football. He keeps achieving things the sport hasn’t seen before.”
Before this record-breaking night, Messi already stood as Inter Miami’s all-time leading scorer with 56 goals, a tally that has now climbed to 58. The forward also holds league-best numbers for most assists (5) and total goal involvements (6) in a single MLS match—further cementing his status as a trailblazer in American soccer.
The scoring streak began ahead of Inter Miami’s Club World Cup campaign, with consecutive braces against CF Montréal and the Columbus Crew. Messi has continued to produce in every outing since, showing no signs of slowing down.
Off the field, speculation continues to swirl around his future. Reports have surfaced linking Messi to a possible move to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli, a club currently boasting top-tier talents like Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez, Edouard Mendy, and Ivan Toney. Should such a transfer materialize, fans could witness a renewed rivalry between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League. However, the World Cup winner remains under contract with Inter Miami through the end of 2025.
As Messi continues to defy age and expectation, his legacy in MLS grows stronger with each passing game—and there’s no telling how many more records he might rewrite before the season ends.
