Lionel Messi Hits 900 Career Goals At 38, After Inter Miami CF Draws 1-1 With Nashville

Lionel Messi becomes the second man player in history to score 900 goals in official matches after scoring in Inter Miami’s 1-1 Concacaf Champions Cup second-leg draw with Nashville SC on Wednesday.

After missing the chance to hit 900 in his past two games, Messi wasted no time in the second leg, picking up a pass in the box, cutting to his left and then firing back across goal to give Miami the lead inside of 10 minutes.

The Inter Miami captain reaches 900 official career goals at age 38, becoming the fastest player in history to reach the milestone, doing it 94 games quicker than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo has 965 goals and has made it clear he wants to clear the 1,000-goal threshold before retiring. It took Messi 1,142 games to get to 900, while Ronaldo needed 1,236 matches to reach the mark.

The Argentina captain joined Cristiano Ronaldo as the only men’s players to reach 900 goals with his strike Wednesday. Ronaldo achieved the feat in September 2024.

Messi career goals:

⚽️ 672 Barcelona

⚽️ 32 Paris St Germain
