Major League Soccer

Inter Miami CF

<p>The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner rewrote the history books in his latest outing for the Herons when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/magical-lionel-messi-personal-history-career-firsts-inter-miami-superstar-six-goal-showing-new-york-red-bulls/blt85182914370c19b8" target="_blank">contributing to all six of their goals in a 6-2 mauling of the New York Red Bulls</a>. His achievements there have never been seen before, but he is being backed to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-best-qualities-highlighted-mls-rival-masterclass-inter-miami-new-england-revolution/blt6c726b4d51ec92a2" target="_blank">raise the bar of individual brilliance even higher</a>.</p><div class="affiliate-button-container theme-1" data-name="Apple TV"><div class="affiliate-button"><img class="logo" height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2de198b67da95a2e/65709d2436cf7d0407034ef9/Apple_TV.png" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Get the MLS Season Pass today!</span></div><a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=goal_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l39UY" class="affiliate-button-link" target="_blank">Stream games now</a></div>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>With the all-time great <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/does-luis-suarez-want-beat-lionel-messi-mls-golden-boot-friendly-rivalry-10-goal-inter-miami-superstars-serious/blte1889630b2af8688" target="_blank">enjoying a stunning purple patch</a>, MLS pundit Matt Doyle sees no reason why Messi cannot be involved in seven goals across a single 90-minute outing. The Argentine World Cup winner is also being tipped to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/is-lionel-messi-letting-world-know-how-poor-mls-is-alexi-lalas-taking-souls-point-ex-usmnt-star-inter-miami-captain-outstanding-2024/blt041a0b72902ad5e0" target="_blank">help Inter Miami to a huge victory over one unfortunate opponent</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Doyle has told <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/extratime/id379077036?i=1000654818109 " target="_blank"><em>MLS Extratime</em></a>: “I think pretty strongly, there’s like a 70% chance that he breaks this record this year, that he ends a game with seven goal contributions. I also think there’s a pretty good chance that Inter Miami break the all-time record for goals in a game, which is eight.” </p>

WHAT DOYLE SAID

<p>Next on the agenda for Messi is a trip to Montreal on Saturday, with Inter Miami looking to cement their standing at the top of the Eastern Conference. Their mercurial No.10 has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-equals-mls-record-thierry-henry-inter-miami-star-awards-collection-history-making-performance-new-york-red-bulls/bltabdc4f7a31d0c195" target="_blank">won three Matchday MVP awards this season</a>, a Player of the Month gong for April and is considered to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lionel-messi-mls-mvp-only-clown-disagree-ex-usmnt-star-taylor-twellman-inter-miami-superstar-rewriting-history/blt39d8b7dfad9797ba" target="_blank">leading the overall 2024 MVP race</a>.</p>
