After just five matches with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi is in the top five goalscorers in the club’s history with eight goals to his name.

The Argentine magician has quickly moved into fourth place, one place behind Finnish team-mate Robert Taylor, who has nine goals to his name with the MLS club.

Messi debuted with a goal against Cruz Azul, scored a brace against Atlanta United, another brace against Orlando City in the Florida derby, and scored two more in the game against FC Dallas.

On Friday, he capped a 4-0 win over Charlotte FC with the fourth goal of the game as Miami booked their place in the semifinals of the Leagues Cup.

Higuaín top scorer

Fellow Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuaín remains Inter Miami’s top scorer of all time with 29 goals to his name. The former Real Madrid man scored eight from the penalty spot.

Inter Miami have scored 158 goals in 128 matches (48 wins, 20 draws and 60 defeats). Scotland’s Lewis Morgan was the club’s top scorer with five goals in 2020. Higuaín netted 12 in 2021 and 16 in 2022, while in 2023, Josef Martínez and Messi already have eight.

At this rate, it may not take Messi long to surpass his former Argentina team-mate Higuaín at the top of the goalscoring charts.
