Argentina icon, Lionel Messi set yet another remarkable milestone on Saturday as Inter Miami stormed into the MLS Cup final with a commanding 5-1 victory over New York City FC, securing the club’s first-ever Eastern Conference title.
Although the Argentine icon did not find the net, he still made history by assisting Mateo Silvetti’s goal in the 67th minute, his 405th career assist, the highest recorded in world football.
Messi and his star-studded teammates, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and others, now await the winner of the Western Conference final between San Diego FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps, which will determine their opponent for the 2025 MLS Cup.
The championship match, scheduled for Saturday, December 6, presents Inter Miami with a golden chance to clinch the first league title in the club’s history, with Messi once again at the heart of the quest for glory.
