Lionel Messi
38-Year-Old
Inter Miami CF
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Messi only appeared in 19 league matches for Inter Miami in 2024. That didn't stop him from scoring 20 goals and assisting 11. While some disagreed with the selection, Messi won the Most Valuable Player award. The injury bug is the only thing that could hold Messi back in 2025. While his work rate is next to nothing, he still makes unbelievable plays that turn back the clock when on the ball. A healthy Messi could score 30-plus goals in MLS play, but it's tough to project the Argentinian to play the full schedule.
Three goal contributions Saturday
Messi scored two goals and assisted once from 10 shots and three chances created in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Atlanta United.
ANALYSIS
Messi was all over the field Saturday to earn an assist and two goals, scoring in the 39th minute before an assist in the 52nd, adding his second goal in the 87th minute. This is the second consecutive game with three goal contributions for the attacker, as he recorded three assists last time out. He now has 26 goals and 15 assists this season, leading the league in goal contributions.
