Lionel Messi has delivered an extraordinary scoring run in Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami, setting a new league record by scoring multiple goals in five consecutive regular-season matches. This streak began with a 4-1 victory over CF Montreal on July 5, 2025, where Messi scored twice and provided an assist. He continued this form with a 2-1 win against New England Revolution, again scoring two goals, marking the first time in MLS history a player achieved four straight multi-goal games. Messi extended this record to five consecutive games with another brace in a 2-1 victory over Nashville SC, which also ended Nashville's 15-match unbeaten streak. Over these five games, Messi accumulated 10 goals and four assists, demonstrating his pivotal role in Inter Miami's offensive success. However, the streak ended on July 16, 2025, when Inter Miami suffered a 3-0 defeat against FC Cincinnati, marking the end of both Messi's scoring run and the team's six-game unbeaten streak. Messi was unable to score in that match, which featured two goals from Evander and one from Gerardo Valenzuela. Following this setback, Messi bounced back by scoring two goals and providing an assist in a 5-1 rout of the New York Red Bulls on July 19, 2025. This performance brought his tally to 18 goals in 18 MLS matches for the season and marked his sixth brace in seven games. Additionally, Messi surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo's record for most goals scored without penalties, reaching 764. Throughout this period, Messi's contributions have been central to Inter Miami's competitive position in the league, with the team closing in on the top of the standings under coach Javier Mascherano.
