Lionel Messi still entered the history of football this Wednesday. The octuple Ballon d'Or signed a new record during the meeting of MLS which opposed Inter Mami to New England this Wednesday (2-1).
The Argentinian who scored the two goals of this match became the first player to score four consecutive doubles in MLS. The series started before the club World Cup against Montreal and Colombus Crew. Last Saturday, he had reiterated the performance once again against Montreal, before scoring a new double this Wednesday against New England.
With this new double, the total assessment of goals scored this season by the Pulga is 20 goals in 26 matches in all competitions. Inter Miami is classified for the moment in fifth place of the championship.
What future for Lionel Messi?
While Lionel Messi continues the performances, Inter Miami wishes to keep the player beyond his contract which will end next December. In order to remain competitive for the next World Cup, the former Barcelona could accept the extension offer proposed by the American club, despite the interest of Al-Ahli.
Indeed, this is what British journalist Ben Jacobs indicates. Messi should stay in Florida until the end of the 2026 season, before deciding if he wishes to hang up the crampons or continue the adventure.
