Lionel Messi will aim for more success in 2026. His Inter Miami side captured its first-ever MLS Cup title last season and will look to defend it -- and add further silverware too -- in its first season at Miami Freedom Park, the club's new stadium.
More importantly though, Messi will captain Argentina in North America as they attempt to defend their FIFA World Cup crown, with him targeting a second title and a fourth for his country overall in what could be his final tournament.
As the 38-year-old continues to feature for both club and country, ESPN will track his performances game by game, providing stats and analysis each time he pulls on a Herons or Albiceleste jersey.
Messi's 2026 tally:
Games played: 2
Goals: 2
Assists: 1
March 1: Orlando City 2-4 Inter Miami
