Lionel Messi is the only and first player in football history to have 700 non-penalty goals

Messi's victory for Miami was the 700th non-penalty goal of his professional career, becoming him the first and only player in game history to achieve such a feat.

Messi scored in his club debut for the first time in his illustrious career.

The 36-year-old player came off the bench in his debut game with Inter Miami, who faced Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup earlier today.

Messi ultimately came on as Benjamin Cremaschi's substitute in the 54th minute, and he went on to make a remarkable debut performance in the eyes of thousands of fans who had assembled to the DRV PNK stadium to see the Argentine in action.
