On Wednesday evening, Messi became the first player in MLS history to score multiple goals in four consecutive matches. The Argentine maestro achieved this rare feat by netting twice in Inter Miami&rsquo;s 2-1 win over the New England Revolution.<\/p><p>The 38-year-old opened the scoring in the 27th minute with a precise left-footed finish inside the box. Defender Tanner Beason misplayed a header and Messi capitalized on the mistake by scoring on the half-volley. He then doubled the lead just 11 minutes later as he curled in a clinical strike after a perfectly weighted through ball from Sergio Busquets. Although Carles Gil pulled one back for New England in the 79th minute, Miami held on to secure three crucial points.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Job done in Boston &#9989; <br><br>Read our match recap here: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NqqZcVWEeK\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/NqqZcVWEeK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cTyCw9qamd\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/cTyCw9qamd<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/InterMiamiCF\/status\/1943139887739285831?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 10, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lionel Messi&rsquo;s 4th Straight Multi-Goal Match<\/h2><p>Messi&rsquo;s historic run began in May, with braces against Montreal and Columbus, before he competed at the FIFA Club World Cup with Inter Miami.
