Lionel Messi is making a significant impact in MLS, exceeding expectations with his impressive performance.
Lionel Messi continues to dazzle in Major League Soccer, with his latest display of brilliance coming in a dominant performance against the New England Revolution. Scoring two goals and assisting on another in Inter Miami’s 4-1 victory, Messi showcased his extraordinary talent once again.
What’s truly remarkable is Messi’s incredible rate of production. In just six-and-a-half games this season, he’s already found the back of the net nine times, with an additional seven assists. That averages out to an astonishing 2.5 goal contributions per 90 minutes, a testament to his unparalleled skill and impact on the field.
Comparing his current performance to last season’s debut in MLS, the numbers speak volumes. Messi’s 16th goal contribution took 731 minutes to achieve in 2023, whereas in 2024, he reached the same milestone in just 583 minutes.
