Lionel Messi reaches 400 career assists
With this performance, Messi went on to cross 400 assists for club and country. So far in his career, Messi has provided 37 assists for Inter Miami in 84 games and has also amassed 74 goals. For Argentina, he has registered 60 assists and 114 goals in 195 games.
With Barcelona, Lionel Messi has scored 672 goals and assisted 269 times in 778 games for the side, with 32 goals and 34 assists in 75 games with PSG. Messi has performed exceptionally well wherever he has played.
Javier Mascherano appreciates Lionel Messi
After securing an exceptional win over Nashville SC, Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano heaped praise on Messi. He congratulated the forward for the game and lauded him for his pressing ability even in the twilight of his career.
"I want to congratulate Leo for the game he played. He was the first one who guided us in high pressure. To see him press like that at 38 years old is crazy. We all know about Leo with the ball, but what happened with Leo without the ball today was impressive,” Javier Mascherano was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
"The team played an almost perfect game. There are always things to improve, but we were at a very high level in all lines, very intense from the first minute, very organized and very good in high pressure,” he added.
Miami's victory was even more impressive considering the face that Luis Suarez was not present, as he was serving one match ban for violent conduct in the previous leg. But Messi's performance filled the void.
