The Lionel Messi legend continues: FC Montreal humiliated by the Argentine superstar

The Evergreen Messi. La Pulga scored four goals, leading Inter Miami to a resounding 7-1 victory—the most goals ever scored in a single game—against CF Montreal, thus ending a significant losing streak for his team.

Among the four goals he scored, the third and fourth stood out: a splendid chip over the goalkeeper and, in stoppage time, a precise free kick that found the back of the net in the corner. Messi is the MLS leading scorer this season, with 18 goals in just 19 games, two more than Petar Musa of FC Dallas.

“There are no words to describe such beautiful soccer,” said Miami’s interim coach, Guillermo Hoyos, who was suspended for the match. “So many things are happening that words simply aren’t enough. The significance of this victory is enormous for everyone. First and foremost for the players, for the team itself, which truly deserved it and continues to deserve it. For the club, which also deserves it given the immense effort it has put in; and for all of us who have worked together. We all deserve it, and what we’re experiencing right now is truly a great blessing.”

The victory over FC Montreal was Inter Miami’s first in MLS since July 25 and ended a five-game winless streak across all competitions, including the League Cup.
