Messi Scores Stunning Free Kick but Columbus Defeats Inter Miami

Comments Off on Messi Scores Stunning Free Kick but Columbus Defeats Inter Miami

Lionel Messi scored one of the season’s finest goals during the MLS match against Columbus. In the 33rd minute, he curled a free kick from a tight angle into the far corner of the net.

This marked the 931st goal of Messi’s career and his 21st goal of the season in the league.

Additionally, having netted 76 goals from free kicks, Messi is now closing in on the world record held by Marcelinho Carioca. He needs just three more successful free kicks to surpass the global record for goals scored from set pieces.

Despite Messi’s individual brilliance, the overall match result was overshadowed as Inter Miami lost 1-2, leaving them 14 points behind the league leaders Nashville.
