Messi scored in the 24th minute of his 115th Inter Miami appearance against Mexico’s Cruz Azul.
Lionel Messi, the former Barcelona and Paris St Germain star, scored his 100th goal for Inter Miami in their Campeones Cup victory on Wednesday. The Major League Soccer side defeated Mexican club Cruz Azul 2-0 at Nu Stadium in Florida. This marked Messi's 115th appearance for Miami, with his 24th-minute strike coming 25 minutes before Casemiro's second goal for the team.
Messi's coach, Cristian Gonzalez, praised the Argentine legend, saying, "Leo told me he'd make me a champion, so he kept his word." Messi, 39, joined Inter Miami in 2023 and has contributed to four trophies. The football icon announced his international retirement last month, with his final match for Argentina scheduled for a friendly against Benin on October 6.
