Lionel Messi once again proved his class, guiding Inter Miami to a 4-1 victory over New England Revolution with a hat-trick of assists. The Argentine superstar didn’t score but completely dictated the game with his vision and creativity.
Inter Miami started strong, controlling possession from the opening minutes. In the 32nd minute, Messi set up Tadeo Allende with a perfect through ball, giving Miami the lead. Just before half-time, he created another goal, finding Jordi Alba with a clever pass to make it 2-0.
New England pulled one back in the second half through Dor Turgeman, but Messi wasn’t done yet. Moments later, he delivered his third assist of the night — once again to Allende — sealing the victory and completing his hat-trick of assists.
This performance marked Messi’s 41st goal contribution of the season, keeping Inter Miami in strong form in Major League Soccer (MLS). His ability to control games and create chances continues to separate him from the rest.
Despite wet conditions and a heavy pitch, Messi’s technical brilliance stood out. Every attack flowed through him, and his link-up play with Alba and Allende was near perfect. Fans at Chase Stadium erupted with chants as Messi walked off to applause after another dominant display.
Inter Miami’s win ended their brief winless run and boosted them to third place in the Eastern Conference. The team’s coach praised Messi after the match, saying his leadership and football intelligence made all the difference.
With the playoffs approaching, Inter Miami will look to Messi to maintain his momentum. His latest hat-trick of assists not only lifted his team but also reminded everyone why he remains one of football’s greatest creators.
