2025 Fantasy Outlook
Messi only appeared in 19 league matches for Inter Miami in 2024. That didn't stop him from scoring 20 goals and assisting 11. While some disagreed with the selection, Messi won the Most Valuable Player award. The injury bug is the only thing that could hold Messi back in 2025. While his work rate is next to nothing, he still makes unbelievable plays that turn back the clock when on the ball. A healthy Messi could score 30-plus goals in MLS play, but it's tough to project the Argentinian to play the full schedule.
Bags brace in playoff opener
Messi took four shots, scored twice, and added a secondary assist in Friday's 3-1 win over Nashville SC.
ANALYSIS
Messi kept his foot on the pedal in the first game of the Best-of-3 MLS Cup Playoffs opening round. He has compiled an eye-popping 21 shots, seven goals, and three assists over his last three appearances and will look to help Miami punch its ticket to the next round in Game 2 at Nashville on Saturday.
