Messi hits 900
Lionel Messi reached the 900-goal milestone in his career — the landmark came during Concacaf play for Inter Miami, but the night was described as bittersweet because the team result didn’t mirror the personal milestone (beinsports.com).
Inter Miami drew 1-1 with Nashville SC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16 second leg on March 18 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, and Nashville advanced on away goals after a 0-0 first leg. (aljazeera.com) The milestone strike arrived in the seventh minute when Messi tucked a low 10‑yard finish past Nashville goalkeeper Brian Schwake after a Reguilón build-up. (mlssoccer.com) Cristian Espinoza levelled midway through the second half after an Alex Muyl shot was blocked and the rebound fell to an unmarked Espinoza, whose right‑footed effort inside the far post proved decisive. (aljazeera.com) MLS’ official match notes break down Messi’s 900 total as 672 goals for FC Barcelona, 32 for Paris Saint‑Germain, 81 for Inter Miami and 115 for Argentina. (mlssoccer.com) That tally makes him only the second man in recorded men’s football to reach 900 official goals, joining Cristiano Ronaldo, who sits on 965 and reached 900 in September 2024. (espn.com) Nashville advance to face either the Philadelphia Union or Club América in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals, while Inter Miami’s regional campaign concluded with the March 18 exit.
