Lionel Messi, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner who will celebrate his 39th birthday in June, has scored 672 goals for Spanish Barcelona, 32 for French Paris Saint-Germain, and 115 for the world champion Argentina national team. Miami's victory lifted them to third place in the Eastern Conference with six points from three matches. Inter Miami, who were guests of U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday, started the match with a brilliant long-range goal from Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul in the 17th minute. Messi added the second goal 10 minutes later, receiving a magnificent pass from his compatriot Matías Rojas and one-on-one with goalkeeper Sean Johnson before chipping the ball over him. The Argentine veteran Lionel Messi was once again on the scoresheet, scoring his 899th career goal during his team Inter Miami's 2-1 victory over DC United on Saturday in a Major League Soccer match. Messi, who scored twice in the Florida derby against Orlando last week, netted his third goal of the season with a beautiful volley in the 27th minute at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The Argentine star scored his 80th goal for Inter Miami, bringing his career total to 899. DC United fought back in the second half and narrowed the gap through Israeli forward Tai Baribo in the 75th minute, but Miami managed to hold on to their lead until the final whistle to secure their second win.
