Lionel Messi notches two impressive milestones with Inter Miami

The perfect night was the one lived by Lionel Messi on his debut with Inter Miami. Despite starting from the bench, the stadium gave itself completely to him from the start of the match. It was a real party with the Argentine at its heart.

Messi’s magical moment

However, the game had to be closed off with a piece of magic from the man himself. Almost as if scripted by Apple. Messi not only scored the winning goal but also achieved two incredible milestones to continue adding to his legacy. Here’s that moment...

Messi achieved his 700th goal, without counting those he scored from penalties, and he also reached the same number of victories in his career. The Argentine had achieved 542 wins with Barcelona, 108 with the Argentina national team, 49 with PSG and now his first with Inter Miami.

Messi’s family celebration

Some critics pointed at Messi being unwise choosing Miami as his next destination taking into account that the team sits at the bottom of the MLS. However the challenge is there for him. And he certainly enjoyed the late moment of glory, as he immediately went to celebrate with his wife and children.

The Argentinian has achieved great numbers in his career and has smashed all kinds of records, something he will surely continue to do with Inter Miami in MLS.
