Lionel Messi continues to defy Father Time, rewriting MLS history in Inter Miami’s thrilling 4-2 win over Toronto FC on Saturday. The Argentine superstar dazzled with a goal and two assists, shattering Sebastian Giovinco’s record to become the fastest player ever to reach 100 goal contributions in MLS—achieving the milestone in just 64 matches, a staggering 31 fewer than the former Toronto star.

At 38 years old, Messi showed he’s still at the peak of his powers, orchestrating a masterclass at BMO Field. Rodrigo De Paul fired Miami ahead in the 44th minute, but it was Messi who stole the show, setting up Luis Suarez and Sergio Reguilon to build a commanding 3-0 lead. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner then capped his performance with a clinical finish after a slick exchange with De Paul, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.

Toronto’s Emilio Aristizábal came off the bench to score a brilliant brace, but Miami remained in control, cruising to a comfortable victory. The win was a much-needed bounce-back for the Herons, who suffered a disappointing 4-3 home loss to Orlando City last weekend. The result lifts them to third in the Eastern Conference, keeping their title ambitions firmly on track.

Messi, who turns 39 in June, shows no signs of slowing down. With 10 goals and three assists in 13 appearances across all competitions this season, he’s already been a driving force for Miami. His overall tally for the club now stands at an impressive 87 goals in 101 matches—a testament to his enduring brilliance. For fans and fashion enthusiasts alike, Messi’s legacy is one worth celebrating, whether on the pitch or through the gear that bears his name.
