Argentine star Lionel Messi will seek to reach 900 goals in his professional career this Saturday, at the Bank of America stadium, where Inter Miami will visit Charlotte for the fourth matchday of the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer. As reported by the Argentine News Agency, the Florida team comes from a 2-1 victory over DC United in the previous matchday, where the 38-year-old player from Rosario scored his 899th goal. During the week, Inter Miami drew 0-0 with Nashville in the round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and Messi was unable to break the barrier of 900 goals in his professional career. Therefore, Saturday's match against Charlotte at the Bank of America stadium is of great importance for both the team of Argentine Javier Mascherano and for Messi, who would reach 900 goals if he scores. From his first professional goal against Albacete in May 2005 with the jersey of Spain's Barcelona, the Argentine star has scored 784 at the club level, wearing the jerseys of the Catalan team, France's Paris Saint-Germain, and Inter Miami. At Barcelona, he scored 672 goals in 17 consecutive seasons between 2004 and 2021, becoming the club's all-time top scorer, while at Paris Saint-Germain, he scored 32 times in two seasons. To date, Messi has scored 80 goals for Inter Miami since his arrival in 2023. To these 784 goals are added the 115 he scored with the jersey of the Argentine national team, which made him the all-time top scorer of the 'Albiceleste', surpassing the 56 goals of Gabriel Omar Batistuta.
