Lionel Messi's incredible record whenever he scores in a match has been brought to an end by Atlanta United.

For a couple of months now, the Argentine has enjoyed an amazing unbeaten record when he scores in a particular match.

The veteran forward continued with his impressive form for Inter Miami today, May 30, as he found the back of the net against Atlanta United.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Messi has scored 11 goals and had 12 assists in 13 games this season.

However, his latest goal could not save Inter Miami from suffering an embarrassing loss at home.

Atlanta United raced to a 2-0 lead after 59 minutes of action courtesy of a brace from Saba Lobzhanidze.

Messi went on to pull one back for his side in the 62nd minute, only for Jamal Thiare to restore the visitors' two-goal advantage in the 73rd minute.

Messi's impressive unbeaten record halted

Until the fixture against Atlanta United, Messi had gone almost two years without losing in a game he has scored in.

Per ESPN, the last time the forward suffered a defeat despite scoring was during the 2022 FIFA World Cup against Saudi Arabia.

However, at a club level, the multiple Ballon d'Or winner was yet to lose in a match he had scored in for close to three years, with his last coming back in May 2021 against Celta Vigo, when he was still playing for Barcelona.
