Argentine star Lionel Messi, a player for the American team Intermiami, was able to reach his 900th goal during his football career, at dawn today, after he scored against the Nashville team in the second leg of the round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup in the 2025-26 season, but this historical moment turned into a nightmare and an unhappy ending for the international star.
A historic moment turns into a nightmare under Messi’s watch
Lionel Messi opened the scoring in the seventh minute of the first half before Nashville’s Argentine player, Cristian Espinosa, equalized for his team in the 74th minute of the match. With this result, the Intermiami team left the CONCACAF Champions Cup with the advantage of an away goal, as the first leg ended in a goalless draw between the two teams.
Distinctive numbers for Messi despite extreme sadness and exit
Although the exit from the tournament caused great sadness for Messi and his companions and spoiled an evening that could have been a major celebration, he continues to provide distinguished numbers, as he reached goal No. 900 and became the second player to achieve this number with the most goals after the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 961 goals. He continues to score goals with his American team, as he reached goal No. 81 with the American League champion.
