Lionel Messi has no shortage of motivation in 2025. His Inter Miami CF won the Supporters' Shield last season, setting an MLS single-season record for points in the process, before being humbly knocked out of the playoffs in Round 1.

Lionel Messi became the first player in Major League Soccer history with four consecutive multi-goal games, scoring twice to lead Inter Miami past the New England Revolution 2-1.

There was no indication Messi, 38, needed to move any faster, or, at times, even move at all in 2-1 win over Revolution.

Inter Miami has been in talks this week to acquire Atletico Madrid midfielder and Messi’s Argentine World Cup-winning teammate Rodrigo De Paul during this summer’s transfer window, according to multiple reports.

The Argentine legend has been busy this summer, playing in the FIFA Club World Cup, and all 90 minutes at Montreal in his return to MLS play Saturday.

Barcelona legend Lionel Messi has entered talks with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli over a potential move from Inter Miami in December, according to reports.
