Lionel Messi etched his name in Inter Miami's record books on Saturday, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer with a stunning hat-trick against New England Revolution. The 37-year-old soccer legend's impressive performance helped Inter Miami secure a 6-2 victory at the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Messi's hat-trick, scored within 11 minutes, not only solidified his position as the club's top scorer but also propelled Inter Miami to break the MLS record for most points in a single season. The team finished the regular season with an impressive 74 points from 34 games, boasting a 22-4-8 win-loss-draw record.
The match began with New England Revolution taking a two-goal lead, but Luis Suarez's quick double equalized the score. Messi's entrance onto the pitch marked a turning point in the game. Just one minute after substituting in, he assisted Benjamin Cremaschi's goal, putting Miami ahead for the first time in the 58th minute.
Messi then took center stage, scoring his first hat-trick for Inter Miami and securing his place as the club's all-time leading scorer with 33 goals. This remarkable achievement underscores his enduring talent and influence on the team.
Furthermore, Inter Miami made history by becoming the first MLS team to have multiple players score at least 20 goals in a season. Messi's impressive performance and the team's record-breaking season cement their position as a formidable force in the league.
