Inter Miami mercurial captain, Lionel Messi, on Sunday, 20 September, 2026 surpassed Al-Nassr captain, Cristiano Ronaldo’s records after scoring for his team against San Diego.
Messi scored a goal as Inter Miami played 2-2 with San Diego in a Major League Soccer encounter.
The Argentine netted a direct free kick in the 24th minute of the match, marking his 75th direct free-kick goal in his career.
Messi’s goal means the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner has now scored 930 goals in his career, making him the fastest and youngest player in the history of the sport to reach the 930-goal milestone.
The record was previously held by Ronaldo, who achieved the feat at 40 years and 58 days old in 1272 matches.
