Messi played the hero in the match against Orlando City. |
At 38 years old, Lionel Messi maintains a performance that leaves the whole world in awe. His brace against Orlando City, which helped Inter Miami win 4-2 on March 2nd, also brought the Argentine superstar closer to the milestone of 900 career goals.
With his two latest goals, Messi has raised his total number of official goals to 898. If he continues to score in the match against DC United this weekend, he will soon reach the 900 mark, a number once considered beyond the reach of many legends.
Not only did Messi score, but he also contributed assists against Orlando. Across both club and national team levels, he has 408 assists in 1,139 official matches. In total, Messi has been involved in 1,306 goals, more than the number of matches he has played, confirming his exceptional influence.
Against Orlando, Messi was directly involved in three of Inter Miami's four goals. He scored from outside the penalty area, successfully converted a free kick, and was named Man of the Match. His team also came back from a two-goal deficit.
Notably, the free-kick goal helped Messi reach 70 goals from direct free kicks, equaling Pele's record. On the all-time leaderboard, Juninho Pernambucano has 72 goals, Roberto Dinamita 75, and Marcelinho Carioca leads with 78. Messi only needs 9 more free-kick goals to hold this record exclusively.
Despite turning 38, Messi shows no signs of slowing down. The 900-goal milestone is very close, but with his current form, it may just be one of Leo's seemingly unbreakable records.
Messi's brace from outside the penalty area: On the morning of March 2nd, Lionel Messi shone with a brace that helped Inter Miami defeat Orlando City 4-2 in the second round of MLS 2026.
