Messi defeated his opponents with three shots and one pass, broke the record with 50 goals in 53 games, and secured 3 awards

The 38-year-old Messi directly turned the final game of the MLS League into a personal exhibition game. He reversed the Nashville game 5-2. He used three shots and one pass to tell you: The football king never gets old!

When he was behind in the first half, he stood up and broke the deadlock with a shot from the top of the arc. When the team needed a comeback in the second half, he steadily hit a penalty kick to tie the game, then scored a lofted shot to complete the hat trick. In stoppage time, he also made a selfless cross to assist his teammates to seal the score. He scored 3 goals out of 7 shots and 4 of them were on target, with a passing success rate of 88.6% (39 of 44 passes), and a performance that was both offensive and defensive. No wonder the post-match score was close to full marks.

What is even more horrifying is his season report card: 29 goals and 16 assists in 28 games. Not only does he lead the scorer list by 5 goals and secure the Golden Boot, he is also tied for the assists leader. He ranks first in successful passing, creation of opportunities, and average rating per game. This was not enough. After this campaign, he unlocked 50 goals in the MLS in 53 games, directly setting the fastest 50-goal milestone in the league and stepping on the historical record!

You must know that this is the body of a 38-year-old! The large-scale transfer is as accurate as navigation, the small-scale wall collision is coordinated with smooth flow, the ball is stopped, turned around and the shot is completed in one go, and the defensive end can also chase back to help defend. Compared with legends of the same age, at the age of 38, he averaged 0.78 goals + 0.35 assists per game, which is better than many forwards in their prime. Those who said that "veterans only eat cakes" were severely slapped in the face by his passing, assists and organization.

What’s even more dramatic is that Miami’s opponent in the playoffs will most likely still be Nashville—Messi just broke through the defense and they have to meet again. This script is simply too exciting!

Now all that remains is suspense: MVP, Golden Boot, and assists leader are all included. Will Messi directly empty the MLS honor box? At the age of 38, how many more surprises can he give to the football world?
