Lionel Messi has moved to within 63 goals of the 1,000-goal milestone after scoring and providing an assist in Inter Miami’s 2-1 victory over New England Revolution.

The Argentine forward reached 937 career goals and 428 assists as Inter Miami came from behind to secure victory on Sunday.

Messi played a decisive role in the comeback, setting up Germán Berterame for the equaliser in the 69th minute before scoring the winner eight minutes later, in the 83rd minute.

Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the milestone in a post on X, noting that Messi reached the figures through his goal and assist against New England.

The 39-year-old’s latest performance further strengthened his remarkable record, with the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner continuing to contribute significantly to Inter Miami despite being in the latter stages of his career.

Messi’s 937 goals and 428 assists underline his enduring influence as both a goalscorer and playmaker.

With 63 goals remaining to reach the 1,000 mark, the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain forward continues to add to his historic career tally.
