Inter Miami confirms Messi’s selection for Matchday 34 after his goal and assist against New England.
Our take: Our 2026 MLS archive records 26 goals and 13 final-touch assists for Messi; that assist definition excludes the secondary credits MLS can award. Read the league’s recognition alongside the match archive, rather than treating all assist totals as interchangeable.

That makes Kane’s chase a consistency comparison alongside the separate career-goals leaderboard. Inspect Champions League appearances → Champions League goal totals →Analysis uses records reviewed .
