Lionel Messi continues to dazzle Major League Soccer fans, delivering his third hat trick since joining Inter Miami in a thrilling 5-3 victory over FC Cincinnati on May 13. The Argentine superstar found the net in the 24th, 55th, and 89th minutes, showcasing his trademark brilliance—though only one goal came from his iconic left foot.

This hat trick breaks new ground for Messi, as his previous two MLS hat tricks both came on Decision Day, the final day of the regular season, in 2024 and 2025. Now, he's adding mid-season magic to his repertoire, proving his consistency across the campaign.

The third goal might undergo review for an own goal. Messi slid to redirect a pass from Mateo Silvetti toward the penalty spot, and his shot struck the post before appearing to ricochet off FC Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano. For now, it's credited to Messi, bringing his season tally to 12 goals in 13 MLS matches—a remarkable pace that keeps fans on the edge of their seats.

From his 900th career goal to MLS Cup glory, Messi's impact on Inter Miami is undeniable. Whether you're a seasoned supporter or new to the beautiful game, moments like these remind us why we love soccer. Gear up for the next match with our latest collection, and celebrate every goal in style!
