In a match that had fans on the edge of their seats, Lionel Messi put on a dazzling display as Inter Miami CF made history by setting the MLS record for most points in a single season. The team concluded the 2024 regular season with a remarkable 74 points after a spectacular 6-2 victory against the New England Revolution. Just when things looked tight and the score was tied, Messi checked into the match early in the second half and wasted no time adding to the scoreboard, netting an astonishing hat-trick in just 11 minutes. If that isn't a superhero entrance, we don’t know what is!

The MLS season has been an exhilarating ride, with Messi and his teammate Luis Suarez lighting up the field like a Canada Day fireworks show. Suarez kicked things off with a pair of first-half goals, and together they propelled Inter Miami into the record books. The dynamic duo has brought a new level of excitement to Major League Soccer, showcasing their football finesse as if they were performing at a rock concert where every goal sends the crowd into a frenzy.

As the regular season wrapped up, Charlotte FC was not to be left out of the spotlight either. After finishing strong with a decisive 3-0 victory over D.C. United, they prepared to face Orlando City FC in the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs. Clearly, all teams are gearing up for what promises to be an epic playoff showdown, but one might wonder: will Messi’s magic sprinkle some Toronto Maple Syrup on the competition?

With a lineup full of talent and determination, the playoffs are bound to be memorable. Fans across Canada and beyond are getting ready for a month of thrilling matches that promise to be anything but boring. Because let’s face it, nothing beats the drama of playoff season—except maybe poutine that’s worth the calories!

Fun Fact: Lionel Messi's hat-trick against New England was not only pivotal for Inter Miami, but it also makes him the first player in MLS history to score a hat-trick off the bench! Talk about a comeback! Also, did you know that Inter Miami's achievement surpasses the points record held by LA Galaxy? That's one massive step for Miami's soccer future and a giant leap for the sweet land of football in North America!
