Lionel Messi scored his 900th career goal on Wednesday and became the second player to reach the mark in elite men’s football after Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 38-year-old Argentine World Cup winner followed that up with a left-footed strike in Inter Miami’s 1-1 draw with Nashville SC in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
The 900th goal was achieved 21 years after Messi scored his first goal in senior football at the age of 17 in 2005.
Inter manager Javier Mascherano said Messi’s tally was “crazy”.
“I’ve been lucky enough to see many, if not most, of his goals, closer than all of you, and that’s a privilege,” he added.
“The numbers we’re talking about are insane, and that’s why Leo is one of a kind.”
