Lionel Messi has added another title to his career after a great away victory against the Columbus Crew. Inter Miami won the Supporters' Shield, being the team with the most points in the regular season.

What’s next for Lionel Messi?

The Argentine No. 10 has two remaining scheduled matches, against Toronto FC and the New England Revolution on October 5 and 19, respectively, with a break for the FIFA international window, during which he will join the Argentina national team.

Messi returns with Argentina

Lionel Messi missed Argentina's most recent matches, but coach Lionel Scaloni has once again included his star player in the squad, while Emiliano Martínez will not be present.

Argentina will face Venezuela on October 10 in Maturín and will host Bolivia on October 15 at the Estadio Monumental.

It's worth noting that Argentina leads the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers with 18 points, two ahead of Colombia.

Playoff advantage for Inter Miami

After becoming unreachable by any other MLS team, the Florida-based team has also secured home-field advantage throughout the playoffs at Chase Stadium.

Record in sight for Messi’s team

Inter Miami has the opportunity to break the record for most points in a single season, a mark currently held by the New England Revolution, who earned 73 points in 2021. If Messi’s team wins its next two matches, they will surpass this milestone with 74 points.
