Messi breaks another record on the same night
Messi created the spark for Miami’s third goal and delivered the assist that placed him at the top of football history. He now holds the record for the most assists ever recorded by any player.
He moves past Ferenc Puskas and stands alone with the highest number of official assists in world football. Every successful pass carried weight. Every touch showed intention. That record breaking assist came in a moment of total clarity and Miami used it to close the door on the match.
A season flooded with goals and influence
Messi has driven Inter Miami through the entire 2025 campaign. He has played forty seven matches across all competitions. He has scored forty three goals. He has produced twenty eight assists.
Miami relies on his decision making in every phase and he delivers every week. He won the Golden Boot. He created more chances than any other player in the league. His impact touches every part of the team and he continues to set the pace for the entire MLS season.
How Miami dismantled New York City FC
The match exploded early. Tadeo Allende opened the scoring after a sharp move on the left side. He doubled the lead minutes later with a clinical header. New York responded before the break through a Justin Haak header, but Miami refused to lose control.
Messi settled the game with a perfect ball into space. Mateo Silvetti collected it and finished calmly for Miami’s third goal. The stadium erupted again when Telasco Segovia came on and added the fourth goal. Allende completed his hat trick near the end with a composed finish that wrapped up a dominant performance. Miami attacked with confidence. Miami defended with aggression. Miami never allowed New York into the match.
The Miami trophy count grows
Messi now owns forty seven major career trophies. His list includes ten La Liga titles, eight Spanish Super Cups, seven Copa del Rey titles, four Champions League crowns, three UEFA Super Cups, three Club World Cups, two Ligue 1 titles, two Copa America trophies, one World Cup, one Finalissima, one Olympic gold medal, one U 20 World Cup and one French Super Cup. He has also collected the Leagues Cup, the MLS Supporters Shield and now the Eastern Conference title with Inter Miami.
He has won three trophies since joining the club and he stands one match away from adding another.
The final challenge of the season
Inter Miami now turns toward the final and the biggest match of the year. The MLS Cup Final takes place on December 6 at 2.30 PM Eastern Time. Miami will face Vancouver Whitecaps. Messi steps into another title match with confidence and with the form of a player who continues to rewrite the sport.
