Lionel Messi BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

The past few days have once again seen Lionel Messi at the center of football headlines and viral moments, both on and off the pitch. On Saturday night, Messi delivered another masterclass, netting two goals in Inter Miami’s 2-1 victory over Nashville SC. That marked his fifth straight match with multiple goals, an ongoing Major League Soccer record. He now sits tied atop the league’s scoring chart with 16 goals in as many matches this season, as reported by CBS News Miami and ESPN. His opening goal—a signature curling free kick in the 17th minute—was classic Messi, bending the ball through a crowded wall and into the corner of the net. Later, he capitalized on a defensive miscue for the game-winner, drawing praise from Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano who called Messi “the leader” and admitted it’s a “blessing” to witness his greatness at close quarters. Inter Miami has now won five straight, charging into the race for a second consecutive Supporters’ Shield as Messi closes in on even more all-time records in MLS.

Off the field, Messi’s fashion unexpectedly became a talking point when ex-NFL player Antonio Brown sparked controversy by posting a photo of Messi in casual attire, accompanied by a provocative caption on social media. The post went viral, igniting intense debate online over Brown’s choice of words and stirring up reactions ranging from humor to outrage, according to the Times of India. Messi, ever the consummate professional, didn’t respond and remained focused on his football commitments and family life in Miami, while Brown’s own off-field behavior continued to attract scrutiny.

Meanwhile, Messi’s presence on social media remains strong, with fans celebrating his on-field exploits and meme accounts routinely posting about his impact both in goals and as a living legend—Instagram reels and fan pages have lit up with tributes, statistics, and highlight clips, with some posts tallying thousands of likes. Messi now has a staggering 83 goal contributions in just 65 appearances for Inter Miami, as noted by FCB Fans Nation.

Looking ahead, Messi’s fitness and workload are being closely managed by the Miami staff, given his age and relentless playing schedule. Mascherano hinted that conversations about rest are ongoing but noted Messi feels fine and continues to “show us the way to compete.” As club and global fans keep their eyes glued to every match, the Messi phenomenon in America feels as electrifying and influential as ever.
