Lionel Messi scores 900th career goal

Inter Miami captain, Lionel Messi, has hit the 900-goal mark in his career.

Messi achieved the milestone, after he scored in their 1-1 draw with Nashville SC in a CONCACAF Champions Cup second leg on Wednesday.

The Argentine World Cup winner becomes only the second male footballer in history to achieve the feat – the other being Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi picked up the ball within the opening 10 minutes, cut to his left and fired back across goal to give Miami the lead.

But Cristian Espinoza cancelled out the goal as Miami crashed out of the competition.

It has taken Messi 1,142 games to hit 900, while Ronaldo needed 1,236 matches.

Brazilian great Pele stands third on the all-time list with 765.

Out of his tally, Messi scored 672 for Barcelona, 32 with Paris Saint-Germain, 81 during his time in Miami and 115 goals for Argentina.
