According to Sporting News, Messi has already found the back of the net 11 times, with the majority of the goals coming in cup competitions.

However, beyond his goal-scoring prowess, the Argentine ace has also treated MLS fans to some form of entertainment, thanks to his amazing football skills and flawless footwork.

Messi was at it again on Thursday during Inter Miami's league meeting with Nashville.

Messi's sublime pass to Alba

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner sent fans into a meltdown after he produced some flawless footwork before setting up Jordi Alba with a flawless pass.

In a video doing rounds on social media, Messi can be seen releasing the ball from the middle of the pitch to his already racing teammate.

While the pass put Alba in a good goal-scoring position, the Barcelona legend was unable to find the back of the net as he lost possession.

However, fans were quick to take to social media to applaud Messi for his precision with the ball.

@2BAAASQUAD observed:

"Again another one. One of the best passes I've seen in general; regardless of the league this is quality from Messi."

@LordFrankiz noted:

"The goat pass 🧠."

@cypher_12 reckoned:

"MY GOAT, Never disappoints."

Comparing Mbappe's stats with Messi, Ronaldo

Sports Brief previously reported on Kylian Mbappe being arguably one of the best players in the world and has been doing great things for Paris Saint-Germain and France over the last few years.

At 24, he has achieved so much that even if he retired today, his legacy as one of the best would still be solidified - but how does he compare to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the same age?
