Messi scored two goals for the Miranchuk club and set a new MLS record

The striker of Inter Miami recorded a double and an effective pass in the winning match of the 31st round of MLS with Atlanta (3: 1).

The Argentine scored in the 56th and 60th minutes of the match. On his account this season already 23 goals and 15 assists.

Messi became the first player in MLS history to make at least 15 assists in three consecutive seasons.

"I can't believe he's doing it at 39," Inter Miami head coach Christian Gonzalez said after the game, as quoted by the MLS press office.

Messi cemented the lead in the race for the MLS Golden Boot and became an even clearer favorite in the fight for the MVP award - he can set a league record by taking it for the third time in a row.

For “Atlanta” is the midfielder of the Russian national team Alexei Miranchuk. He played the whole match on the field, but did not show any results.

On October 9, a truly absurd and tense situation developed in Russian sports. On the one hand, the international federations are lifting discriminatory restrictions one by one. On the other hand, host countries are finding ways to keep our athletes out of competitions using a banal bureaucracy. A good example is the Russian gymnastics team, which right now risks losing its chance at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
