Inter Miami Thrash Atlanta United in MLS Rout
Inter Miami put on a vintage display as three former FC Barcelona stars — Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, and Jordi Alba — all got on the scoresheet in a dominant 4-0 win over Atlanta United in the MLS regular season.
Messi opened the scoring and added a late fourth to seal the victory, while Alba and Suárez found the net within minutes of each other in the second half to complete the rout. The Argentine icon’s brace not only highlighted his class but also etched his name into MLS history.
With this performance, Lionel Messi became the first player in MLS history to score two or more goals in nine different matches during a single regular season — a remarkable record that further underlines his enduring brilliance in the twilight of his career.
Next up, Inter Miami travel to face Nashville SC in their final fixture of the 2025 MLS regular season, scheduled for Saturday, October 18.
