Former FC Barcelona and PSG player Lionel Messi begins his second season in Major League Soccer with Inter Miami and begins it on a very high basis in terms of statistics, with a new double and two assists on the night of Saturday to Sunday.
Lionel Messi seems eternal. The 36-year-old Argentinian joined MLS in 2023 after two difficult years at PSG. If the first season in the North American championship was not remarkable, his start to the second season is thunderous. During the night from Saturday to Sunday, Pulga scored twice and delivered two assists.
With these two new achievements and two new offerings, the former Barcelona player already has nine goals scored and seven assists. He is the top scorer and co-top passer in MLS since the start of the season after eleven days.
Inter Miami dominates the Eastern Conference
Lionel Messi’s club is at the top of the MLS Eastern Conference after a third success in a row acquired overnight against the New England Revolution (4-1). However, everything started very badly after a goal conceded in the first minute. La Pulga then struck for the first time shortly after the half-hour mark before giving their team the advantage in the 68th minute.
The Argentinian also provided a double of assists to confirm his team’s success in the final moments of the match. Lionel Messi has scored six goals in the last five matches and provided five assists over the same period.
The Argentinian and his team will be back on May 5 with a shock planned against the New York Red Bulls who occupy third place in the Eastern Conference standings, four points behind Inter Miami.
