History was made on Wednesday night as Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi reached the incredible 900-goal mark.
Despite Inter Miami crashing out of the CONCACAF Champions League following a 1-1 draw with Nashville SC, the Argentine icon solidified his legacy with an early strike.
Within the opening 10 minutes, Messi picked up the ball, cut to his left, and fired across the goal to give Miami the lead.
While Cristian Espinoza eventually leveled the score to end Miami’s tournament run, Messi’s individual achievement stole the headlines.
The Race to 900:Lionel Messi: 900 goals in 1,142 games.
Cristiano Ronaldo: 900 goals in 1,236 games.
Messi joins Ronaldo as the only two male footballers in history to reach this feat, surpassing Brazilian legend Pelé (765 goals).
