Messi Retires from Argentina Duty, Continues MLS Stint After Four-Goal Haul

Lionel Messi has announced his retirement from international play with the Argentinian national team, marking the end of a significant chapter in his illustrious career. This decision comes just days after the legendary footballer delivered a spectacular performance for Inter Miami, scoring four goals and adding an assist in a dominant 7-1 victory over CF Montreal. The prolific display helped Inter Miami snap a five-game winless streak across all competitions.

Despite stepping away from international duty, Messi will continue his club career with Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. His recent performance, hailed as "footballing beauty" by interim coach Guillermo Hoyos, underscores his continued impact on the league. Meanwhile, other MLS matches saw the New England Revolution secure a 3-1 win against the Columbus Crew, thanks to a goal and two assists from Carles Gil.
