Messi is approaching the 900-goal milestone
Lionel Messi, the famous footballer of Inter Miami and the Argentina national team, is approaching another significant historic achievement. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to Planet Football, Messi has currently played a total of 1,139 matches at club and international levels, scoring 898 goals. This means he needs only two more goals to reach the legendary 900-goal milestone.
These numbers are noteworthy not only because he is close to 900 goals but also for other reasons. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo reached 900 official goals in 1,236 matches and remains the first footballer to achieve this.
If Messi manages to score two goals in the next match, he will reach this milestone in 96 fewer matches than Ronaldo. This would be another distinct record.
This is not just a statistical indicator but also another stage in the great rivalry between two outstanding footballers. Ronaldo was the first to surpass the 900-goal barrier, while Messi is on the verge of reaching it even faster.
Therefore, Inter Miami's next match holds special significance not only for the team but for the entire football world. Inter Miami's upcoming match will be against DC United.
According to the club's schedule, this match will take place on March 7, 2026, and will be held late at night transitioning into March 8, Tashkent time. Hence, Messi has the opportunity to reach the 900-goal milestone precisely in this game.
According to ESPN, Messi has started scoring goals in the first matches of the new year, showing good form. Therefore, the scenario of scoring two goals is quite plausible and could turn into a real football drama.
Football fans are expected to witness another historic game. If Messi manages to score two goals against DC United, he will not only conquer the 900-goal barrier but also do it faster than Ronaldo, once again creating a huge buzz around his name.
