Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi is on fire! The Argentine superstar took charge and secured Inter Miami's spot in the Eastern Conference final.

Last night, Lionel Messi delivered a masterclass in Inter Miami's emphatic 4-0 win over Cincinnati. This impressive victory propels the Florida franchise to their first-ever Eastern Conference final. The Argentine opened the scoring with a rare header, then followed up with three assists—two to Mateo Silvetti and one to Tadeo Allende—securing a dominant win against an opponent Miami had never beaten in regular season play.

Once again decisive, Messi is putting together a historic playoff campaign with six goals and six assists, breaking the record for most goal contributions in a postseason, previously set by Ante Razov (10) in 1999. With this latest display, La Pulga also surpasses the symbolic milestone of 1,300 career goal involvements (896 goals, 404 assists).

Inter Miami will now face Philadelphia in the conference final, aiming to book their place in the MLS Cup final.
