Lionel Messi showcased his exceptional skill once again in the dying moments of the match against Nashville SC, securing a goal with a remarkable left-footed curler in Inter Miami’s recent 2-1 defeat. This goal marked Messi’s 749th strike with his preferred left foot, representing nearly 84% of his total career goals, which now stand at an impressive 892 as he approaches the milestone of 900 goals. In contrast, his perennial rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who has amassed 952 goals, has netted 182 goals (19.1% of his career total) with his non-dominant left foot, making him the only player to surpass the 900-goal mark. Messi’s achievement of 892 goals in 1,132 appearances suggests he is on track to reach this milestone quicker than Ronaldo, who achieved the feat in 1,236 games. The breathtaking moment was captured in a photo by Reuters.
