Lionel Messi
38-Year-Old
Inter Miami CF
MLS
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.
Scores and assists in shock loss
Messi scored one goal and assisted once from five shots and four chances created in Saturday's 4-3 defeat versus Orlando City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 78th minute.
ANALYSIS
Messi scored the third and assisted the second goals for Inter Miami as they took a 3-0 lead in 33 minutes. They went on to lose the game 4-3. This brings him to eight goals for this season so far, and this was his first assist of the year. Messi had gone two games with out scoring, despite 16 shots in the two matches and seven chances created. This was the seventh time in eight games that Messi has created three or more chances and was his only assist so far.
