Messi Scores Twice as Inter Miami Beat New York City 4-0 to Reach MLS Playoffs
Lionel Messi was the star of the night as Inter Miami cruised to a 4-0 victory over New York City FC at Citi Field on Wednesday, a result that sealed their place in the 2025 MLS playoffs.
The Argentine captain bagged a second-half brace, taking his tally to five goals in just over a week. Though he had the chance to grab a hat-trick, Messi unselfishly handed a late penalty to Luis Suárez, who converted.
Messi’s double means he has now scored two or more goals in eight of Miami’s last 12 matches, a feat only three other players in MLS history have achieved in a single season.
With 55 points from 29 games, Inter Miami sits third in the Eastern Conference, just two matches behind leaders Philadelphia Union. Next up for Javier Mascherano’s side is a clash against Toronto FC as they continue their push for the Supporters’ Shield.
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
