Lionel Messi has done it again… but this time, the goal has people joking that MLS should simply kick him out of the league! 😭🐐
The image making the rounds online shows Messi celebrating in his pink Inter Miami shirt after producing another ridiculous moment in front of goal. But there is an important detail behind the viral picture: the goal was a header, not a handball. Messi rose above Willer Ditta to meet Luis Suárez’s cross and headed the ball past Cruz Azul goalkeeper Kevin Mier. 🥶⚽
And the timing could hardly have been more perfect.
It was the 24th minute of the 2026 Campeones Cup final, and that header gave Inter Miami the lead against Cruz Azul. More importantly, it was Messi’s 100th goal for Inter Miami, achieved in just 115 appearances. 🤯🔥
Think about that for a second…
100 goals.
115 appearances.
One unforgettable milestone. 🐐💯
The goal also created a beautiful full-circle moment. Messi scored his first Inter Miami goal against Cruz Azul in his debut back in 2023, and three years later, the Mexican club became the opponent against whom he reached 100. 😳💗
The viral graphic may make the finish look suspicious because of the camera angle and Messi’s movement, but multiple match reports confirm exactly what happened: Suárez crossed from the right and Messi scored with his head.
And Messi wasn’t finished.
Later in the match, he delivered a corner that Casemiro headed home for Inter Miami’s second goal, sealing a 2-0 victory and the Campeones Cup trophy. 🏆🔥
So while the internet can joke about MLS needing to “kick him out” because he’s making everything look too easy 😂, the actual story is even more impressive.
At 39 years old, Messi is still producing historic moments, adding trophies and breaking milestones in American football.
And now he has another number beside his name:
