KOLKATA: Age has passed 37. Just returned from injury. But so what, he is Lionel Messi. All grammar, above the rulebook. Leo proved it once again. Messi set a double precedent in the same match in Inter Miami’s jersey. He also put the name of his club in the pages of history.
Leo scored a hat trick in the second half of Saturday night’s important Major League Soccer match.
His hat-trick within 11 minutes of coming on to the field also made him the club’s all-time top goalscorer. On the other hand, his club Inter Miami also set the record for the most points in a season.

Inter Miami’s opponents on Saturday night were the New England Revolution. Very tough opponents in the league. Miami lost them 6-2. Messi scored a hat trick in the second half. Suarez also scored a pair of goals. As a result of this hat trick, Messi’s number of goals in Inter Miami’s jersey stood at 33. He is now the top scorer in the club’s history. At the same time, as a result of today’s victory, Inter Miami’s points stood at 74. Never before in Major League Soccer has a team scored 74 points in a season. Before that, in 2021, the New England Revolution scored 73 points. Inter broke that record.
In fact, after recovering from injury, Messi is now in a dream form. In his own words, he is enjoying the matches in the twilight of his career. Perhaps that’s why he looks dangerous in every match.
