Messi Clinches 47th Trophy, Reigns as King of Assists

Inter Miami took a giant leap toward MLS success under Lionel Messi at the helm. The team secured its first Eastern Conference title on Saturday, crushing New York City 5-1. Fans on social media have been quick to claim that Messi won the 47th trophy of his career, but that is not officially accurate.

FIFA does not recognize the MLS Eastern Conference Championship as an official title, which means Messi’s official count remains at 46 career trophies. Should Miami go on to win the MLS Cup final, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will secure his 47th. Nonetheless, this milestone marks a historic achievement for both the club and the players, as it is their first title in this competition.

Messi Sets Record with 405th Assist

Despite not scoring, Messi still made history. Tadeo Allende scored a hat-trick for Miami at Chase Stadium, with the first two goals assisted by Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. Messi’s precise setup for Mateo Silvetti in the 67th minute marked his 405th career assist for club and country, surpassing legendary Hungarian forward Ferenc Puskas (404). At 38, Lionel has now scored 896 goals.
