Lionel Messi moved to 921 official career goals after scoring twice for Inter Miami against St Louis City.
New milestones for Messi
The Argentina forward also set up one goal in the match, taking his official assist total to 419. That lifts his combined goal involvements to 1,340 across goals and assists.
Messi is now fewer than 80 goals away from 1,000 official career goals, a mark reached by only a tiny group of football’s greats. The latest numbers add to a strong MLS season in which he has kept Inter Miami in contention.
Still setting records
At 39, Messi continues to post the kind of output that has defined his career. His finishing, final pass and chance creation remain central to Inter Miami’s attack.
His official goal and assist totals still place him among the most productive players the game has seen, and the next milestones are now firmly in sight as the season continues.
