Lionel Messi showcased his exceptional talent once again, guiding Inter Miami to a commanding 4-0 victory against Cincinnati on Monday night, marking the team's first-ever appearance in the Eastern Conference final of Major League Soccer.
Messi scored one goal and provided three assists, with Tadeo Allende netting two goals and Matteo Silvetti contributing the fourth, allowing Miami—ranked third—to continue its impressive run ahead of a crucial match against New York City on Saturday.
New York City secured its spot in the final by defeating conference leaders Philadelphia, thanks to a goal from Maxi Morales, setting the stage for a highly anticipated matchup against Messi and his teammates.
Historic Milestones for Messi
The performance in Cincinnati was significant; Messi (38 years old) matched the legendary Ferenc Puskás's record by reaching 404 career assists, while inching closer to his 900th career goal, needing just four more.
He has achieved 1,300 offensive contributions in 1,135 matches, continuing to set records despite his age. This season, Messi has scored 46 goals and has been named the top scorer in Major League Soccer, contributing to 23 offensive plays in his last 10 matches, and leading the playoff scoring chart with six goals.
In the Western Conference, the Vancouver Whitecaps await the winner of the match between San Diego, the conference leader, and Minnesota United.
