12 matches without a blank! Messi's incredible scoring streak reaches a staggering new mark
Lionel Messi simply cannot stop scoring or creating goals.
Details: The legendary Argentine forward has now registered at least one goal or assist in 12 consecutive matches for Inter Miami and Argentina, according to the match-by-match statistics. During this remarkable run, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has accumulated 13 goals and seven assists, producing an astonishing 20 direct goal contributions.
Messi's most spectacular performance during this streak came against CF Montréal, when he scored four goals and provided an assist in Inter Miami's crushing 7-1 victory. The Argentine also found the net against Philadelphia, Toronto, Nashville, San Diego and Columbus, while recording assists against Atlanta and Chicago.
The remarkable sequence also includes his final appearance for Argentina against Benin. In that emotional 3-0 victory, Messi scored once and provided two assists, directly contributing to all three goals in his farewell international match.
The streak continued on October 10, when Inter Miami demolished DC United 4-0 in MLS. Messi scored twice in the second half, while Luis Suárez had already netted a first-half brace. The victory also ended Miami's five-match winless run in the league.
It is worth noting that the 39-year-old Argentine has scored 23 goals in the 2026 MLS season. His overall career tally now stands at 934 official goals, leaving him just 66 short of the historic 1,000-goal milestone.
