Lionel Messi scored his second career MLS hat trick nearly a year after his first in Inter Miami’s 5-2 win over Nashville SC on Saturday night.

The last time Messi scored a hat trick was Oct. 19, 2024, in Inter Miami’s 6-2 win over the New England Revolution. It was the 19th scored hat trick of the 2025 MLS season.

He scored his first of the game from the top of the box in the 35th minute to give Inter Miami a 1-0 lead.
