Lionel Messi has continued to demonstrate exceptional form in Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami, setting multiple scoring records throughout July 2025. On July 5, Messi scored two goals and provided an assist to lead Inter Miami to a 4-1 victory over CF Montreal in their return to MLS action following their elimination from the FIFA Club World Cup. This performance marked the continuation of his scoring streak. On July 9, Messi became the first player in MLS history to score multiple goals in four consecutive regular-season matches after netting a brace in Inter Miami's 2-1 win against New England Revolution. He extended this record to five consecutive multi-goal games on July 12, scoring twice in a 2-1 victory over Nashville SC, which also ended Nashville's 15-match unbeaten streak. Messi's scoring streak was halted on July 16 when Inter Miami suffered a 3-0 defeat to FC Cincinnati, marking the end of his run of five straight multi-goal games. Despite this setback, Messi bounced back on July 19 by scoring two goals and providing an assist in a 5-1 rout of the New York Red Bulls. Over the course of the season, Messi has accumulated impressive statistics, including 18 goals in 18 MLS matches as of July 20, with six braces in his last seven games and a total of 76 career MLS goals. His performances have been pivotal in Inter Miami's competitive standing in the league under coach Javier Mascherano.
