Lionel Messi has been setting new records in Major League Soccer this season. In a recent game against the New York Red Bulls, he scored a hat trick and set two MLS records. He became the first player to make five assists in one game and set a new record for a six-goal contribution in a single game at Chase Stadium.
Messi’s performance dominated headlines, but it was not the only impressive thing about the game. Inter Miami’s Luis Suárez also scored three goals, helping lead the team to a 6-2 victory over the Red Bulls. Despite his impressive performance, Suárez’s hat trick was overshadowed by Messi’s records-breaking display.
In fact, Messi has been breaking MLS records all season long. In a previous match against the New England Revolution, he scored and assisted in six consecutive league matches, bringing his total goal tally for the season to 10 in eight games. This tied him with Suárez as the top scorer in the league so far.
Messi leads the league in assists with 12, showcasing his all-around skills on the field. He has formed a strong partnership with Suárez at Inter Miami, despite previously playing together at Barcelona. The duo has been instrumental in Miami’s success this season and will face CF Montreal on May 11 as they continue to shine on the field.
