- Messi among club's record scorers
- Trails fellow Argentine Gonzalo Higuain
- Leads Leagues Cup Golden Boot race
WHAT HAPPENED? Messi's brace against FC Dallas in the round of 16 of the 2023 Leagues Cup saw the Argentine superstar move fourth in the list of all-time top scorers for David Beckham's fledgling club, as he netted his sixth and seventh strikes of the competition.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Messi achieved the feat through just four matches, and is now level with team-mate Josef Martinez and former Miami players Lewis Morgan and Rodolfo Pizarro with seven goals. He trails fellow Argentine Gonzalo Higuain by 22 goals as the side's all-time leading scorer. The club was only founded in 2018.
