Lionel Messi continues torrid pace as Inter Miami top Nashville | MLSSoccer.com
Lionel Messi can't stop scoring. Is anyone surprised?
Inter Miami CF's superstar No. 10 notched 2g/1a in Saturday's 3-1 home win over Nashville SC to reach seven goals on the season - just one short of Golden Boot presented by Audi leader Cristian Arango (8). He also has six assists, tops in MLS along with the New York Red Bulls' Dante Vanzeir.
Even with a hamstring injury limiting him to just under 500 league minutes, Messi remains as crucial a force as ever in 2024 for the Herons, the current Supporters' Shield leaders with a 5W-2L-3D record (18 points).
