ABU DHABI, July 28 / WAM / After only two matches with his new team, Inter Miami, the American, the Argentine international football star, Lionel Messi, launched a path towards more records and distinguished in his sports career.
Messi began his participation with Inter Miami a few days ago by going on as a substitute in the team’s match against Mexico’s Cruz Azul in the League Cup, which is being held with the participation of clubs from the United States and Mexico, and the player scored the winning goal 2-1 with one of his famous shots from free kicks, at the time instead of lost to the match.
A few days later, Messi was on a date with another imprint in his career with the team, as he played the next match for the team in the starting line-up, scored two goals and scored a goal to lead him to a 4-0 victory over Atlanta United in the League Cup as well, and qualify for the second round of the tournament.
With this, Messi raised his score to 3 goals with one goal scored in his first two matches with the team, and the company “Opta” for statistics confirmed that Atlanta United became the club No. 100 in the list of clubs, which Messi scored over the course of his football career so far.
The veteran Argentine player is awaiting the team’s upcoming matches, whether in the League Cup or the American Professional League, which will resume its activity next August, to add more clubs to this list, which seems highly extendable in light of the player’s transition to a new league championship on a new continent.
Messi spent the bulk of his football career so far in Barcelona, Spain, which made the list of Spanish clubs whose teams scored goals the largest among the various nationalities.
The number of Spanish teams that scored Messi’s goals reached 41, followed by French clubs with 15 teams, especially after Messi spent the past two seasons in the French ranks of Paris Saint-Germain before joining Inter Miami in a free transfer.
Likewise, Messi’s European participation with Barcelona and St. Germain caused an increase in the number of clubs that scored, including 7 German teams, 6 English teams, 4 Italian teams, 3 Portuguese teams, in addition to several teams of different nationalities such as Greece, Scotland, Ukraine, the Netherlands, Hungary, Switzerland and others.
And with the upcoming participation of Inter Miami in the American League, League Cup and other tournaments against teams from the CONCACAF Confederation (North, Central America and the Caribbean), there will be opportunities for Messi to significantly extend the list on the one hand and achieve more records in terms of the number of goals in his football career, which He achieved many of them during his distinguished career with Barcelona.
Atlanta United coach Gonzalo Pineda said that Messi is a “superhero” player and that he describes him as a maestro, referring to the player’s ability to change everything on the field through his superior skills.
Spaniard Sergio Busquets, Messi’s former colleague in Barcelona, who joined him at Inter Miami, and set up the first goal for him against Atlanta United, said: “I was looking forward to meeting Messi again. Being with him in Barcelona for a long time previously made it easy (during the match), he understands.” We have each other. I hope we can take advantage of this advantage to serve our current team in Miami.”
