Lionel Messi scores 900th goal, but Miami bounced from CCC
Lionel Messi became just the second men's player in history to score 900 goals in official matches after scoring in Inter Miami's 1-1 Concacaf Champions Cup second-leg draw with Nashville SC on Wednesday.
The first leg ended in a 0-0 draw, so Wednesday's result means Miami is eliminated from the CCC on the away goals rule, as a strike by Nashville's Cristian Espinoza proved decisive when he cancelled out the early goal from Messi to send his team through.
After missing the chance to hit 900 in his past two games, Messi wasted no time in the second leg, picking up a pass in the box, cutting to his left and then firing back across goal to give Miami the lead inside of 10 minutes.
Inter Miami’s Concacaf exit is a reminder that time rolls on for Lionel Messi
The Herons are out of the Champions Cup after defeat to Nashville. Now it’s back to the same old hits for the club
Concacaf may not have the world’s most hallowed Champions League. The confederation is so aware of that fact that it rebranded the competition as a Champions Cup two years ago.
Nonetheless, winning the continental competition is the ultimate aim for MLS’s most ambitious clubs, even though (or perhaps because) only one of its last 25 installments has seen an MLS team crowned as Concacaf’s best. Liga MX continues to dominate the competition, boasting 21 winners since 2001, even as MLS improves. Even Costa Rica’s Liga Promerica has more titles since the turn of the century thanks to back-to-back victories for Alajuelense and Saprissa in the mid-2000s.

Measuring Lionel Messi’s career by the number of goals he has scored is rather like judging Shakespeare by the number of plays he wrote or Mozart by the number of symphonies he composed.
Doing so only scratches the surface of the Argentinian’s genius, with Messi arguably the best passer, dribbler, free-kick taker and all-round playmaker in the history of football.
And while all of these skills have undeniably helped boost his goal tally, quantifying the 38-year-old by the metric of how many times he has put the ball in the net says little about the wider impact he has had in the 1,142 games he has played.
