He no longer has his 20 -year -old legs, but Lionel Messi still has records to get. And the Argentinian international striker (37 years old) intends to try to win as much as possible before hanging up the crampons, probably after competing in the 2026 World Cup with the Albiceleste.
Sunday evening, in Major League Soccer, the octuple Ballon d'Or was on the bridge with Inter Miami, against the Philadelphia Union team. A meeting that ended in a spectacular draw (3-3), with a goal from “La Pulga”. His sixth in 11 games since the start of the season in the league.
Lionel Messi Double Ronaldinho
It was on a magnificent carnar's free kick that the 2022 world champion made the nets tremble (87e), bringing his own to 3-2 before the equalization of Telasco Segovia (90e+5). An achievement that allows him to gain a place in the ranking of the best free kicks in history.
Until then fourth, Lionel Messi has doubled his ex-teammate among the Blaugranas, the Brazilian Ronaldinho, thanks to this 67e goal on free kick. It is only three units of King Pelé (70) and ten lengths from that which many consider the true master in the matter, Juninho Pernambucano (77).
