Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi's greatness can be taken for granted worldwide, given that many soccer fans do not remember the sport without him.
Sometimes, though, it's nice to get a reminder of just how special he is—and has been since he burst on to the scene in the mid-2000s.
On Saturday, Messi provided just such a reminder to all in attendance at Inter Miami's 6–2 victory over the New York Red Bulls. He assisted on five goals—the most by any player in one game in Major League Soccer's 29-year history.
Not content to stop there, Messi added a goal in the 50th minute; his six goal contributions in one game are also an MLS record.
