Lionel Messi became the first MLS player to record 30 goal contributions in three separate seasons during Inter Miami's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United on Saturday. The 39-year-old provided two assists, bringing his season totals to 18 goals and 12 assists in 20 league appearances. His corner set up Casemiro's header, and he later assisted Luis Suárez, while Atlanta's Breel Embolo scored a late penalty. The match marked an emotional return for Atlanta manager Gerardo Martino, who embraced his former player post-match. Inter Miami remains 11 points behind MLS leaders Nashville SC, with defensive issues persisting after selling Noah Allen.
