In today's match of the MLS regular season, Inter Miami visited New England Revolution. Although the hosts took the lead in the first minute of the match, Lionel Messi's brace and two assists brought victory to his team with a score of 4:1.

Thanks to his four decisive contributions in today's match, he managed to break the record for the number of decisive contributions in the first seven matches of the MLS season. The Argentine already has nine goals and seven assists to his name. In total, the world champion has accumulated sixteen decisive contributions, allowing him to surpass the records set by Thierry Henry in 2012 and Carlos Vela in 2019. Back then, both players reached thirteen decisive contributions in seven starting matches.
