In his first seven matches of the season, Messi achieved a landmark by becoming the first player in MLS history to record 16 goal contributions, including goals and assists. This feat by Messi made history. Additionally, he provided the assist for Luis Suarez’s goal in the second half of the game, where Martino’s team displayed dominance in Foxborough.
As of now, Messi’s tally stands at seven games in the MLS, trailing just one game behind the Golden Boot leader Cristian Arango.
