Lionel Messi is about to break more records in the Inter Miami's pink outfit

Lionel Messi stands on the cusp of breaking multiple records that could further deepen his legacy in the MLS for Inter Miami.

Currently, Messi has scored 28 goals in all competitions, just a hat-trick away from equalling Inter Miami forward Leonardo Campana’s record of 31 goals.

Campana recently surpassed Gonzalo Higuain's previous mark of 26 goals, making this a thrilling chase for the Argentine maestro.

Goal-scoring milestone

Lionel Messi’s impressive goal tally places him in a prime position to break Campana’s record in the upcoming matches.

With Messi’s renowned scoring prowess, fans are eager to see if he can net three goals in a game, propelling him into the history books.

It’s worth noting that Luis Suárez, another key figure at Inter Miami, has made significant contributions as well, currently sitting at 21 goals.

Top assists record within reach

In addition to his goal-scoring feats, Messi is also close to breaking the record for the most assists at Inter Miami.

He currently has 17 assists in just 33 appearances, putting him just one assist shy of Robert Taylor’s record of 18 assists in 106 appearances.

This achievement is even more impressive considering the significant impact Messi has had in fewer matches. For comparison, Jordi Alba has 15 assists in 46 appearances, while Campana, the current goal record holder, has provided 7 assists.

The appearance record still out of reach

While Messi is poised to break records in goals and assists, some milestones remain elusive.

The record for the most appearances at Inter Miami is held by Drake Callender and Robert Taylor, with 110 and 106 appearances, respectively.

Given Messi's recent transition into MLS, he has some ground to cover before he can challenge these marks.
