On the morning of May 29, Miami International defeated Montreal 4-2 in a round 22 of the Major League Soccer (MLS). In the game, Messi and Suarez both scored twice, becoming the key figure in the team's victory.

With this victory, Messi set a new record in Miami International's history - he is the first player on the team to directly participate in 50 goals in a regular season (including goals and assists).

After this game, the Argentine superstar's total career goals reached 863 goals, completing this feat in 1,102 official games. In the 2025 season, Messi has made 19 appearances in various competitions and scored 13 goals. In the MLS regular season, he has contributed 29 goals and 21 assists, participating in a total of 50 goals, setting a new Miami International record. In the 27th minute of the game, Busquets successfully intercepted the ball and handed it to Messi at the front of the penalty area. The Argentine superstar scored a wonderful arc with his left foot and scored about 20 meters away from the goal, opening the first record for Miami International. This is Messi's 98th goal from outside the penalty area in his career, once again demonstrating his unparalleled long-range shooting ability.

As the team currently at the bottom of the UEFA Eastern Conference standings, Montreal can hardly pose a threat to Messi. In the 68th minute, Messi cleverly broke through the opponent's defender and sent a cross, assisting Suarez to expand the score to 2-0. Just 3 minutes later, Suarez scored again, seizing the opportunity of the opponent's central defender's mistake and scored at close range, and the score became 3-0.

In the 87th minute, Suarez also gave a wonderful assist, passing the ball accurately to find Messi. The latter calmly scored against the goalkeeper, completing his second goal in this game, and also completed his hat-trick performance (including assists).

Despite this, Miami International's defense still had a loophole in the second half, and the opponent chased two goals in a row. Dante Healy and Victor Loturi scored one after another, setting the score at 4-2.

Although he scored three points, Miami International is still ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference of the Philadelphia United, which is the top Philadelphia United.

Next, Miami International will face Columbus at home on June 1 to continue their FA League journey, and will then officially go to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
