Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami defeated the New England Revolution at home to break the record of the most single-season points in MLS history.

Inter Miami break MLS single-season points record

A euphoric 6-2 comeback victory, topped off by an incredible Messi brace, turned out enough for the men led by Gerardo Martino to attain the record, coincidentally breaking the mark set by the Revolution during the 2021 season.

Inter Miami's dominant regular season could conclude with the league points record when they host the New England Revolution on Saturday evening in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Miami (21-8-4, 71 points) already clinched the Supporters' Shield and will carry home-field advantage throughout the MLS Cup playoffs. A victory on Saturday would give the Herons the most single-season points in MLS history, breaking the mark of 73 set by the Revolution during the 2021 season.

Making only his second international appearance since recovering from an injury sustained at the Copa America in July, Messi capitalized on a mistake by defender Marcelo Suarez to open the scoring in the 19th minute.

Venezuela pulled off a fantastic result in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying with a 1-1 draw vs. Argentina on Thursday. During a pause in the game for an injury there was a small skirmish between Lionel Messi and Venezuela’s Yeferson Soteldo.

When we say “small skirmish” we’re not talking about the heights of the players as Soteldo stands at 5 feet 3 inches tall and Messi is 5 feet 7 inches.

Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami are have become the last club to qualify for the Club World Cup. This after a historic MLS win this week.

BREAKING: Inter Miami become last club invited to 2025 Club World Cup, FIFA President Infantino confirms

It has been confirmed that MLS club, Inter Miami, have sealed their qualification as the United States’ host-nation-invitee for the 2025 Club World Cup. FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, confirmed the news at Inter Miami's last 2024 MLS regular season home match.

Lionel Messi won his 46th career trophy after a 3-2 victory against Columbus Crew to win the MLS Supporters’ Shield on Wednesday. One moment going viral is a Messi dribble vs Columbus in the dying minutes.

Inter Miami were desperately defending their one-goal advantage and had a major scare in the 84th minute when Drake Callender saved a penalty kick.

Lionel Messi scored twice including a free kick as Inter Miami defeated the Columbus Crew 3-2 on Wednesday to mathematically secure the 2024 Supporters’ Shield. The Herons now hold an 11-point lead over the Crew with three games to go.

The Supporters' Shield is given to the MLS team with the most points at the end of each regular season.

Lionel Messi scored a second-half equalizer and Inter Miami claimed a 1-1 draw against Charlotte FC in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Saturday night.

Miami (19-4-8, 65 points) played to a draw for the third straight time following a five-match winning streak from July 17-Sept. 14.

Charlotte (11-11-9, 42 points) was denied back-to-back victories, which would have marked the club's first winning streak since mid-June. Still, Charlotte FC are unbeaten over their past two matches on the heels of a three-match skid.

A former referee has admitted to have spared Lionel Messi from a second yellow card in return for his match-worn shirt.

Chilean refereee, Carlos Chandía, has confessed to having purposefully avoided giving Messi a booking. And all in the plan to receive the Argentine’s jersey at the end of a match.

Chandía was in charge of the 2007 Copa America semifinal match between Argentina and Mexico, with the Albiceleste blowing past El Tri with a 3-0 scoreline. 20-year-old Messi scored a beautiful lob to seal his country’s spot in the final.

For the first time since 2003 neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi have been included in the nominees for the men's Ballon d'Or award, which were announced on Wednesday, with England's Jude Bellingham among the 30 players named.

Portugal's Ronaldo, who has won the award five times, also failed to receive a nomination last year, while Messi, who won for a record eighth time in 2023 and has been nominated 16 times, misses out despite Argentina's Copa America win this year.
