Lionel Messi has done it again. The Inter Miami superstar has shattered the Major League Soccer record for the fastest player to reach 100 regular-season goals and assists, doing so in a stunning 64 appearances—a full 31 games quicker than the previous mark held by Sebastian Giovinco.
The milestone came during Miami's thrilling 4-2 victory over Toronto on Saturday. Messi orchestrated the attack with his trademark elegance, setting up goals for Luis Suarez and Sergio Reguilon before adding the fourth himself. That goal was his eighth of the 2026 campaign, bringing his Inter Miami tally to 59 goals and 41 assists in regular-season play.
"It was a hard game and it was difficult to play, especially in the first half," Messi said via ESPN. "But we were able to get an important win because we had to win given the recent results and how things happened, so I am happy."
This achievement is just the latest chapter in what has been a remarkable run in the United States for the 38-year-old. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has already been named MLS Most Valuable Player in both 2024 and 2025, and claimed the league's Golden Boot last season. Under his leadership, The Herons have lifted the Leagues Cup, Supporters' Shield, and MLS Cup—transforming Inter Miami into a powerhouse in record time.
For fans who love the beautiful game, watching Messi don the pink and black has been nothing short of historic. Whether you're tracking his every move on the pitch or looking to rep your favorite player in style, this is a golden era for soccer in America.
