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.
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has praised his new teammate, Rafael Leão, describing the Portuguese forward as a “good superstar” following the club’s 3-2 victory over Göztepe.
Galatasaray secured the win at the RAMS Park on Saturday, August 29, 2026, with Osimhen getting on the scoresheet as the Turkish champions claimed all three points.
Following the match, Galatasaray unveiled Leão to the home fans after completing his move from Italian side AC Milan. Reacting to the arrival of his new teammate, Osimhen said “Very good [signing]. Rafael Leão is a good superstar, I said it.”
Leão officially joined Galatasaray from AC Milan on Sunday, August 30, 2026, in one of the major moves of the summer transfer window.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
