Soccer star Lionel Messi reached a significant milestone, scoring his 900th career goal in Inter Miami’s match against Nashville SC on March 18.

With the goal, new signing Sergio Reguilon's influence is already showing as the Spanish left back made his way down the pitch to get onto the ball and set up Messi with his first assist for the Herons. Then Messi did the rest with a seeing-eye shot to beat Nashville keeper Brian Schwake.

As Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal prepared for potential high-profile encounters, an unexpected twist emerged. The international calendar often brings glamour fixtures and global attention, but sometimes the biggest stories are shaped by decisions made behind the scenes.

NBA legend Magic Johnson commented on an experience with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, also sending a message after the Inter Miami star reached his 900th career goal.
