Concacaf Champions Cup: Argentine football great Lionel Messi became only the second player in history to score 900 goals in top-level play when he scored in Inter Miami's Concacaf Champions Cup match against Nashville SC.

Messi scored in the seventh-minute, marking his 900th goal overall in his professional career at Geodis Park in the Concacaf Champions Cup last-16 second-leg tie against Nashville. Moreover, the Argentine scored his eighth Concacaf Champions Cup goal and now has 10 direct goal contributions for Inter Miami CF (8 goals, 2 assists). Since his debut in the competition, only Angel Sepúlveda (11) has more goal involvements.

The Miami captain joined long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo in an illustrious group. Ronaldo, 41, reached 900 goals after scoring for Portugal against Croatia in September 2024.
