Toronto vs Inter Miami: Messi's sets new MLS record

Lionel Messi added yet another historic milestone to his legendary career on Saturday evening, becoming the fastest player in Major League Soccer history to reach 100 career goal contributions as defending champions Inter Miami defeated Toronto FC 4-2 at a packed BMO Field.

The Argentine icon was in spectacular form, recording a goal and two assists to propel the Herons past a struggling Toronto side. The result extends TFC's agonising winless streak to seven games across all competitions, while Miami continues to showcase their offensive dominance this term.

Following his performance against Toronto, Messi now boasts 59 goals and 41 assists in MLS since his arrival in 2023.

He completely shattered the previous record held by Toronto FC legend Sebastian Giovinco, who reached the 100-contribution mark (58 goals, 42 assists) in 95 games.

Reaching the milestone in just 64 appearances, Messi achieved the feat in 31 fewer games than the previous record holder, serving as testament to his unprecedented impact in North America.
