After his new hat-trick, Lionel Messi broke a crazy new record in the history of football. The Argentina international became a team’s top scorer for the third time in his career.
A career end with fanfares for Lionel Messi. Exiled in the United States, Pulga lives the American Dream and breaks record after record. The Argentine international has just been crowned top scorer in the history of Inter Miami following his hat-trick in less than 12 minutes against New England (6-2). This is the third time in his career that he has won this title in a team after FC Barcelona and the Argentine selection.
No top player had achieved such a feat before. Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the top scorer for Portugal and Real Madrid but not yet for Al-Nassr. He is missing around sixty goals to achieve this. A few years before retirement, this seems difficult to envisage.
Messi is not yet finished with this sport of which he has experienced all facets. The Albiceleste striker wants to play in the 2026 World Cup with his country. He hopes to glean a second world champion medal before bowing out. This could be the very last competition he competes in his career.
Until then, the Argentinians must still qualify. Halfway through the qualifiers, Lionel Scaloni’s men are leaders with a good lead over the first team eliminated in South America. We should see the reigning world champions in North America in 2026.
