Lionel Messi has started 2025 on a strong note by scoring his first goal of the year in Inter Miami’s victory over Kansas City. The Argentina captain found the net in the 56th minute, securing a 1-0 win in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup clash.
The match took place at Children’s Mercy Park, and Messi’s goal gave Inter Miami an important advantage ahead of the return leg. The second leg will be played on Wednesday, February 26, at Chase Stadium.
With this goal, Messi has now scored 851 goals in his career. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will aim to continue his excellent form when Inter Miami faces New York City in their next MLS match on Sunday.
