How many goals has Messi scored throughout his football career so far?

Veteran Argentine star Lionel Messi was on a new date with the net, after scoring his 899th goal in his career, during his team, Inter Miami, the defending champion, over DC United, 2-1, on Saturday, in the American Football League competitions.

Messi, who scored twice in the Florida Derby against Orlando last week, scored his third goal this season via a beautiful lob in the 27th minute at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

The Argentine star scored his 80th goal with Inter Miami, raising his total score to 899 in his career. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, who celebrates his 39th birthday next June, scored 672 goals with Barcelona, ​​​​Spain, and 32, with Paris Saint-Germain, France, in addition to 115 international goals with the world champion Argentina team.

The victory raised Miami to third place in the Eastern Conference standings with 6 points from 3 matches.

Inter Miami, which was a guest of US President Donald Trump in the White House on Thursday, started the match with a wonderful goal from outside the area by Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul in the 17th minute. Messi added the second goal 10 minutes later, when he received an amazing pass from his compatriot Matteo Silvetti and was alone with goalkeeper Sean Johnson before shooting the ball over him. DC United returned to the atmosphere in the second half and reduced the gap through Israeli striker Tai Parevo in the 75th minute, but Miami succeeded in maintaining its lead until the final whistle, achieving its second victory.
