Lionel Messi keeps breaking records at age 38 with another stunning performance for Inter Miami. The Argentine superstar bagged two goals in the first half during Miami's 2-1 victory over New England Revolution on Wednesday. Messi has become the first MLS player ever to score multiple goals in four straight games. His incredible scoring streak started in late May and has continued through his return from the Club World Cup. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has racked up 14 goals in just 15 MLS games.
Messi opened the scoring in the 27th minute when New England made a costly mistake at Gillette Stadium. The soccer legend pounced on the error and fired a left-footed shot from the center of the penalty area. Sergio Busquets then set up Messi's second goal with a perfect through ball 11 minutes later. The Miami star curled another left-footed shot past the Slovenian goalkeeper to double the lead. Coach Javier Mascherano called Messi the best player in soccer history after watching the magic unfold.
Miami climbed from sixth to fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings with the victory. The team sits on 35 points but trails leaders FC Cincinnati by seven points with three games in hand. New England managed to pull one back late in the game through Carles Gil. Mascherano said the late goal meant he couldn't rest Messi despite their packed schedule. Miami faces Nashville on Saturday in one of three matches over the next 10 days.
