2025 Fantasy Outlook
Messi only appeared in 19 league matches for Inter Miami in 2024. That didn't stop him from scoring 20 goals and assisting 11. While some disagreed with the selection, Messi won the Most Valuable Player award. The injury bug is the only thing that could hold Messi back in 2025. While his work rate is next to nothing, he still makes unbelievable plays that turn back the clock when on the ball. A healthy Messi could score 30-plus goals in MLS play, but it's tough to project the Argentinian to play the full schedule.
Delivers one assist
Messi assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (five accurate) and eight corners in Saturday's 3-1 win over Switzerland.
ANALYSIS
Messi was Argentina's most creative force in Saturday's 3-1 extra-time win over Switzerland, delivering the ball that Alexis Mac Allister headed home unmarked, then registering four shots (one on target), eleven crosses (five accurate) and six chances created across his 120 minutes. The Inter Miami captain saw his nine-game World Cup scoring streak end but his eight goals remain tied for the tournament lead with Kylian Mbappe, and Argentina face England in the Atlanta semi-final with Messi two wins from a historic back-to-back title.
