Messi: Latest News, Stats & What’s Coming Up

Messi’s Recent Form

Since moving to Inter Miami, Messi has added a dozen goals and several assists in MLS. He’s also been a key playmaker for Argentina, helping the team qualify for the next Copa América. In the last five games, he’s averaged 0.8 goals per match and created a chance every 70 minutes. Those numbers show he’s still a goal‑machine even after a decade at the top.

Off the pitch, Messi’s fitness routine has drawn attention. He swears by short, high‑intensity interval sessions and a diet heavy on lean protein and olive oil. The routine helps him recover quickly after travel and keeps his sprint speed near his early‑career levels.

What to Expect This Season

Looking ahead, Messi’s schedule is packed. Inter Miami has three big matches in the next two weeks – a showdown with LA Galaxy, a regional cup tie, and a friendly against a European side visiting the US. All three will be streamed live on the league’s official platform, so you won’t miss a single moment.

On the international front, Argentina will face Brazil in a high‑stakes friendly before the Copa América. That game is a great chance to see Messi’s chemistry with younger teammates like Julián Álvarez. Expect him to take a few free‑kicks and possibly score from a direct throw‑in – he’s been practising those in training.

Fans also want to know about merchandise. New Messi jerseys are rolling out next month, featuring a special ‘30‑year‑career’ badge. The shirt’s lightweight fabric is designed for hot summer games, and it’s already selling out on the official store.

Finally, keep an eye on Messi’s social media. He posts quick video clips after every game, giving a behind‑the‑scenes look at his warm‑up routine and locker‑room banter. Those clips often reveal his mood and can hint at how he’s feeling ahead of the next match.

Bottom line: Messi is still delivering the moments fans live for – goals, assists, and unforgettable celebrations. Whether you’re watching MLS, international fixtures, or just scrolling through his Instagram, you’ll get plenty of reasons to stay excited about what’s next.
