The highest goal-contribution rate in soccer history

What Messi did today in the MLS wasn’t just a big game—it was literally a full-fledged theatrical performance!

Inter Miami beat Montreal 7–1 today—and just imagine, that’s the biggest win in Inter Miami’s history. Now imagine that Messi scored 5 of those 7 goals, and he’s over 40 years old!

He set up a goal that was credited as an own goal, scored a goal with his weaker foot after dribbling past three players in a tight space, just like you see here; he scored a chip shot over the goalkeeper; he scored a goal off a free kick; he set up a goal for Suárez; he created six chances, three of which were clear-cut scoring opportunities—it’s like having artificial intelligence on the field!

What’s even more impressive is that Messi is the player with the most goal contributions in the MLS this season, with 26 goals in 19 games—and just imagine, he’s only four goals away from becoming the all-time leader in goals scored from free kicks, not to mention that he’s reached 62 hat tricks in his career!

Just try to wrap your head around this: Messi has 1,348 goal contributions in 1,171 games—that’s 1.15 goals per game, the highest goal contribution rate in soccer history.
