📹 Messi: 400th assist, brace nears 900 goals and qualification | OneFootball

Inter Miami thrashed Nashville 4-0 at home this Saturday (8), advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2025/26 MLS by closing the series at 2-1.

The highlight of the South Florida team's qualification was none other than Lionel Messi.

The Argentine star once again showcased his "prime" version at 38 years old, leading the team to face Cincinnati.

To kick off the "fun," we had a dazzling nutmeg (or "rolinho" or "ovinho"...) that left the opponent even laughing.

To keep the show going, two goals in the first half. 

The first, in his classic move, bursting forward at speed and finishing with style from the edge of the box.

Then, like a true center forward, popping up in front to finish off the assist from the left.

By finding the net twice, Messi moved closer to his 900th goal. His tally now stands at 894 career goals.

In the second half, Messi found Alba, who provided the assist for Tadeo Allende to extend the lead.

Then, the Argentine star provided the assist for Allende to seal Inter Miami's rout.

The GOAT's numbers are absurd, especially in the final stretch of the season.

In 2025, Messi has 44 goals and 21 assists in 50 games. Counting only the last seven matches, he has 18 G/A (goal involvements).

🐐 The greatest still playing

With the assist for Allende's goal, Lionel Messi reached the milestone of 400 career assists.

No active player has more!

The Argentine genius is behind only Puskás, who has 404 career assists.
