Messi Makes MLS History with Electrifying Double Against New England
It was another magical night for Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, as the Argentine icon once again stamped his name in the history books of Major League Soccer. In a highly anticipated midweek clash at Gillette Stadium on July 9, Messi scored twice to lead Inter Miami to a thrilling 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution. The crowd of over 43,000 fans witnessed greatness as Messi became the first player in MLS history to score multiple goals in four straight regular-season matches—a feat that underscores his continued brilliance even at 38 years old.
The match opened with high energy, and it didn’t take long for Messi to ignite the scoreboard. In the 27th minute, he capitalized on a sloppy clearance by New England’s defense, pouncing with clinical precision to make it 1-0. Eleven minutes later, he struck again—this time finishing a masterful long ball from his former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets with a signature left-footed strike. In a matter of minutes, Messi had shifted the entire momentum of the game.

This wasn’t just another night for Messi—it was the continuation of a scorching hot streak. With 14 goals in MLS this season and 20 across all competitions in 2025, he leads Inter Miami in nearly every attacking metric. Since his debut in July 2023, Messi has now tallied 54 goals for the club, solidifying himself as Inter Miami’s all-time top scorer.
Inter Miami will now return home to face Nashville SC on July 12, before a crucial back-to-back showdown with FC Cincinnati. But for now, the talk of the league is Messi—breaking records, captivating crowds, and redefining what’s possible in MLS. One thing’s clear: when Messi plays, history happens.
