The magic of Messi Mania entranced a sold-out crowd at Gillette Stadium, as over 65,000 wide-eyed soccer fans watched the Argentinian superstar make an iconic piece of MLS history.

In Inter Miami’s 4-1 win over the New England Revolution on Saturday, Lionel Messi became the first MLS player to record multiple goal contributions (goals or assists) in five straight matches. His 16 goal contributions is also the most by any MLS player in the first seven games of a season, suring Thierry Henry and Carlos Vela, who each had 13 in that span.

The one-time World Cup winner scored the first two goals for his team and also assisted former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez’s goal in the 88th minute.

The 65,612 fans at Gillette additionally set a new attendance record for a Revolution home game, suring the previous mark of 61,316 in a 2002 MLS final against the LA Galaxy. Tickets to catch a glimpse of the Argentinian delight set fans back at $285 a piece, $10 more than the average ticket for a 2023 New England Patriots home game.

Messi’s dual record-breaking performance comes on the heels of him playing at another sold-out stadium at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where Miami won, 3-2, against Sporting KC.

After Saturday’s win, Inter Miami sits first in the Eastern Conference with a 6-3-2 record. Messi, who bagged his eighth and ninth goals of the season, is chasing Gonzalo Higuain’s all-time scoring record for the club (29); he currently reigns as the top scorer in the MLS with nine goals in seven games.

People come to every stadium to see Leo, that’s true, but they also want their team to win,” Miami coach Gerardo Martino said Saturday. “We’re motivated by the atmosphere we always find where we play and this also incentivizes the opponents a lot.”

Messi has already completed football and he's enjoying his life in Miami with his family and friends, still breaking and setting new records. Messi is the brand and the only GOAT, yet these mumu penadogs think say we dey compete with em, life don move the desert fraud, no one gives a fvck about him in the real world aside his delusional fan base.

Messi run the world, Messi is the standard, the greatest ever and the only GOAT

Penadogs we are done football ended in 2022 but y'all will cry till eternity we love una tears.

Congratulations our Ogaaaaa.

Not the one that plays Luxembourg every week so as to have a Hat trick record.
LUXEMBOURG don suffer for Pendu hand.
An acclaimed gOAT only playing Luxembourg, Albania, Armenia, Sweden, Solomon Island, Macedonia.
A gOAT that can't face Morocco, Uruguay, Mexico, , , Brazil, Argentina, Italy, is that one a gOAt?

Share food, give out cash, lotto win for every tickets bought.
Give ladies free to the stadium.
Security is necessary.
