The milestone strike arrived at a crucial moment in the Major League Soccer clash, with Inter Miami trailing and struggling to regain control. Messi stepped up just after the hour mark and delivered a free-kick that took a telling deflection off the wall, wrong-footing the goalkeeper and restoring parity at 2-2. But Messi’s intervention reignited the visitors, paving the way for Micael to head home the winner and complete the turnaround. Now, with 71 free-kick goals, Messi has his sights set on the ultimate benchmark, the 77 scored by Juninho Pernambucano. Messi what a freekick, what a way to score your 901th goal 🐐 pic.twitter.com/x6ydiKO0KE — MessiMania (@M10Update) March 22, 2026FKA/JE
