La Pulga Leads Inter Miami to Victory Against Nashville with Stellar Performance

La Pulga matched the procedure against Nashville

Lionel Messi once again shined for Inter Miami and met his scoring quota in the 3-1 victory against Nashville SC on matchday 9 of the MLS. La Pulga scored the partial tie 10 minutes into the first half by capturing a rebound in the area, then he provided an assist on a corner kick for Sergio Busquets’ goal that turned the score around and in the complement he scored from the penalty spot to put an end to the result at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

According to the figures from the official MessiStats site, Leo has 830 goals and 366 assists in the 1,055 games he played in his career, dividing the figures between Barcelona (672 goals and 269 assists in 778 games), the Argentine national team (106 goals and 54 assists in 180 games), PSG (32 goals and 34 assists in 75 games) and Inter Miami (19 goals and 9 assists in 22 games).

The Rosario footballer, who will turn 37 in two months, scored six goals and gave two assists so far in the current MLS. The detail is that he played six of the ten games that the Herons played so far.

In the corner of his eye, the fight with Cristiano Ronaldo to be the top scorer in the history of football is still present. The 39-year-old Portuguese has 885 goals in 1,217 games of his career, taking into account that his figures in Saudi Arabia are impressive with the 56 goals he scored in 60 appearances for Al Nassr. To this we must add what was done in Real Madrid (450), Manchester United (145), Juventus (101), Sporting Lisbon (5) and the Portuguese national team (123).

The current difference between the two? 55 goals.

Looking ahead to the Copa América and the Eurocup, it must be taken into account that the Argentinian and the Portuguese are also competing hand in hand for the title of greatest historical scorer in national teams. Here the distance is 17 goals in favor of CR7.

For now, the match schedule for both shows that Inter Miami will visit the New England Revolution next Saturday, will host New York RB a week later (4/5) and will have two consecutive away games then against Montreal Impact ( 11/5) and the classic vs. Orlando City (5/15).

Cristiano’s Al-Nassr will visit Al Khaleej next Saturday for the local Premier League and four days later they will meet that same team but for the semifinals of the Copa del Rey champions, which has Al as possible finalists on the other side Ittihad, directed by Marcelo Gallardo, and Al Hilal, who cannot count on Neymar due to the injury he suffered months ago. CR7’s team will then host Al Wheda (4/5) in the local competition and visit Al Akhdoud (8/5).
