Before Messi retires, he will not only hit 1,000 goals and 500 assists! He will also hit 50 championships!

October 25th. Inter Miami officially announced that Messi has renewed his contract until 2028. If Messi doesn't retire early like Alba, then he still has more than three years of career. This is huge good news for world football. In these three years, Messi will hit various milestones.

The first is 1,000 goals and 500 assists. 500 assists may be a bit rushed and may not be achieved, but 1,000 goals is a high probability event. Messi's current data is 889 goals and 399 assists in 1,130 games, which is 111 goals and 101 assists short of 1,000 goals and 500 assists. Messi currently has 46 championships. He can compete for the US Major League Championship this year. He will also have the World Cup and European and American Cup with the national team next year.

Messi currently has 69 free kicks, the first is Juninho with 77 goals. However, in the free kick list, many ancient legends include unofficial goals. In terms of gold content, Messi is the first in history. In addition, Messi has 60 goal hat tricks and 8 assist hat tricks.

Messi has been with Inter Miami for three seasons, but in fact he has only been out for two years. His data is 71 goals and 37 assists in 82 games. The club alone averages over 30 goals and 15 assists every year. If Messi retires from the national team after the World Cup next year, his goals and assists trend will be lower. Therefore, it is easier for Messi to reach 1,000 goals, but 500 assists is less realistic.

Messi has already won many man-of-the-match awards, MVP honors, and terrifyingly high average points per game in major scoring systems (such as Sofascore and WhoScored) in his career. He is now on this trend, for example, he is close to being the defending Major League MVP.
