38-Year-Old Lionel Messi Breaks MLS Goal Record in Inter Miami’s Win Over New England
Lionel Messi continues to redefine football history at 38, becoming the first player in Major League Soccer (MLS) history to score two or more goals in four consecutive regular-season games.
Messi’s historic feat came in Inter Miami’s 3-1 away victory over the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium, where the Argentine maestro bagged a first-half brace that sealed another commanding win for the Herons.
MLS Record Smashed as Messi Keeps Scoring
The streak began before Inter Miami’s 2025 FIFA Club World Cupcampaign, when Messi netted braces against CF Montréal and Columbus Crew. He extended that run with two more goals in the Club World Cup warm-up and has now etched his name into MLS history books.
With this latest performance, Messi has now scored 58 goals for Inter Miami, further solidifying his place as the club’s all-time leading scorer.
Mascherano Hails His Captain
Inter Miami manager Javier Mascherano was full of praise for the legendary forward after the final whistle.
“I always say Leo is a special player. For me, the best player that has played this sport in history,” Mascherano said.
“It’s unbelievable because he keeps doing things we couldn’t imagine even a few years ago. We’re lucky to have him.”
What’s Next for Messi and Inter Miami?
Fresh off back-to-back wins after their Club World Cup semi-final loss to Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Miami are now preparing to face Nashville SC this coming Sunday. Fans are already anticipating whether Messi can extend his incredible scoring streak to a fifth consecutive MLS game.
