The Historic Record Messi Could Achieve with Inter Miami in MLS
Lionel Messi has added another achievement to his career after the historic away victory against Columbus Crew. Inter Miami claimed the Supporters' Shield, becoming the team with the most points in the regular season and leaving open the possibility of setting a new record in U.S. soccer.
The record Messi’s team could break
Florida's latest victory brings them closer to the record for the most points in a single MLS regular season, a mark set by the New England Revolution in 2021 with 73 points.
If Messi's team wins their next two matches, they will reach 74 points, surpassing this historic milestone.
What’s next for Lionel Messi?
The Argentine star, wearing his iconic No. 10, still has two matches left on the schedule, against Toronto FC and New England Revolution on October 5 and 19, respectively. Afterward, there will be a break for the FIFA international window, during which Messi will join the Argentina National Team.
Messi returns with Argentina
Lionel Messi, who missed Argentina's recent matches, has been called up once again by Lionel Scaloni, although Emiliano Martínez will not be included this time.
Argentina will face Venezuela on October 10 in Maturín and host Bolivia on October 15 at the Estadio Monumental. Argentina leads the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers with 18 points, two ahead of Colombia.
Inter Miami and the Playoffs
In addition to winning the Supporters' Shield, Inter Miami has secured home-field advantage for all their playoff series at Chase Stadium, establishing themselves as a formidable contender in the upcoming finals.
