Despite now being in the twilight of his career, the Argentine has been firing in the goals in the opening weeks of the new campaign.

Messi's contributions have Inter Miami jostling near the top of the Eastern Conference and in the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

He bagged the MLS MVP award last season and if he continues at his current rate, it would be no surprise to see him win another gong when this campaign is in the books.

Messi is set to test himself against some familiar foes this summer when Inter Miami take part in the 32-team revamped Club World Cup.

How far he can go in that competition remains to be seen but it's clear we should enjoy the GOAT while we can.

RadioTimes.com rounds up all the key stats you need to know about the little genius in 2024/25.

Lionel Messi goals for Argentina

Lionel Messi has scored 112 goals in 191 appearances for Argentina since making his debut in 2005.

That puts him a long way clear as his country's all-time leading scorer – with Gabriel Batistuta (56 goals in 78 games) in second.

Messi could still add to that tally as he remains the Argentina captain, though he has suggested he may not make it to another major tournament.
