Lionel Messey continues to testify that age is only a number, as he was the main protagonist in the Inter Miami victory over New England Revolution by 2-1, in the context of the 2026 season in the MLS.
The Argentinian star, at the age of 39, initially had difficulty finding space due to close coverage from opponents, but in the second part, he showed his magic once again.
Inter Miami was at a disadvantage, while Messie initially contributed to the draw goal, assisting for Germane Berteramen in the 69th minute.
However, the most beautiful moment of the match came in the 83rd minute, when the Argentinians carried out a spectacular action to reverse the outcome.
After taking the ball to the back of the field, Messie found himself surrounded by three opposing footballers. Instead of looking for a pass on his associates, however, he chose to choose everything with his individual abilities.
Initially, he quickly turned toward the opposing gate and then crossed the ball between the legs of one of the defenders, digging into the danger zone.
After a quick combination with a fellow player, Messie was in an ideal position to strike and was not mistaken, sending the ball to the net for the score of 2-1.
That was the 937th goal in his professional career, but Messy himself doesn’t seem to be focusing on individual records.
After the match, when asked about achieving this extraordinary number of goals, he replied: Wow, really? No, I’m not following anything. I always say I don’t care much about these records. I just want to enjoy the games. /Telegrafi/
