Lionel Messi continues to write his legend. During the night from Sunday to Monday, his team, Inter Miami, could not do better than a draw against the Toronto FC (1-1). After conceding the opening of the score just before the break, the Floridian franchise snatched a point thanks to a realization of its octuple gold ball on the return from the locker room.
Served at the entrance to the penalty area, Lionel Messi got up the ball on his control and chained with a volley that ended in the small net. The former Barça and PSG has thus carried its total goals this season (all competitions) to 6 in 8 appearances.
With this goal, Lionel Messi has mainly entered the history of herons. Indeed, the 2022 world champion has become the most decisive player in Inter Miami history with 24 achievements and 20 assists.
Messi does better than Higuain
He now is ahead of his compatriot Gonzalo Higuain, who needed 67 games to mount decisive 43 times (against 29 games for Messi). Note that Inter Miam, whose co-owner is called David Beckham, was founded in 2020.
The Floridian club is currently second in the classification of the Eastern Conference, behind the leader Colombus, but has a late meeting. Next meeting for the Pulga and its partners: the quarter-final return of the Concacaf Champions Cup against Los Angeles FC of Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud. The LAFC won 1-0 on the outward journey.
