This Saturday, the number 10 shone again: Inter Miami thrashed Atlanta United 4-0 at Chase Stadium, in the 34th round of the MLS regular season, and Messi was the standout player, scoring two goals and providing an assist.
Besides his decisive power, the Argentine also leads in other impressive numbers: 21 big chances created, 56 key passes, 57 successful dribbles, and 89 duels won, with an average rating of 8.63 on SofaScore — the highest among all players in the league and one of the best in the world.
