Lionel Messi produced another dazzling display, providing three assists as Inter Miami cruised to a 4–1 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday night.
Tadeo Allende and Jordi Alba both struck twice, combining with Messi’s playmaking brilliance to give Miami a dominant win at DRV PNK Stadium.
Messi’s latest performance takes his season tally to 24 goals and 17 assists and a total of 41 goal contributions.
This is the second-highest in Major League Soccer history, behind Carlos Vela’s 49 (34 goals, 15 assists) for LAFC in 2019.
