On March 19th in Florida, the second leg tie of the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16 is taking place. Inter Miami is hosting Nashville SC at their home ground.
Just seven minutes into the game, Inter Miami’s forward Lionel Messi netted the opening goal. This strike marked his 900th career goal.
Messi’s scoring record breaks down as follows: 672 goals for Barcelona, 32 for PSG, 81 for Inter (Miami, implied contextually, though the original text seems to conflate Inter Miami with a possible historical reference, based on the structure following the breakdown), and 115 for the Argentine national team, according to Sport24.ru.
Prior to Messi reaching this milestone, Cristiano Ronaldo had achieved the 900-goal mark (in 2024), and he currently stands at 965 goals. However, Messi hit his 900th goal at a younger chronological age; the attacker is currently 38 years and 8 months old, whereas Cristiano was 39 years and 7 months old when he reached the same figure.
