Goalless draw with Inter Miami: Lionel Messi misses out on an important milestone

Lionel Messi is close to reaching 900 career goals. It didn't happen against Nashville.

Superstar Lionel Messi will have to wait a little longer for his 900th career goal. The 38-year-old and Inter Miami were held to a 0-0 draw by Nashville SC in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 on Wednesday night German time.

Messi moved closer to the next milestone in his career last Saturday in Major League Soccer (MLS) with his goal in the 2-1 win over DC United. It was the Argentine's 80th goal in a Miami shirt, where he has been playing since 2023.
