Nets brace

Messi scored two goals to go with five shots (four on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 win against Atlanta United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 96th minute.

Analysis: Messi would stay quiet in the first half but came alive in the second half, netting a goal in the 56th and 60th minutes for a brace. He continues an insane streak of goal contributions that goes back to Aug. 2, with 12 straight appearances with a goal or an assist during that period. He has recorded 13 goals and five assists during that span, with 25 goals and 12 assists in his 27 appearances (26 starts) this campaign.

Set for retirement match

Messi is set to join Argentina on Sunday to prepare for his final international match before retirement, according to manager Lionel Scaloni, per Fabrizio Romano. "For sure, Messi is expected to join the camp on Sunday after the game against Burkina Faso. If he wants to play on 3rd October too, no problem!"

Analysis: Messi is set to join Argentina for the international break, currently set to leave Sunday and join the team for their match against Benin on Oct. 6. This will come as the legendary player's final international match after announcing his retirement around a month ago, set to close this stage of his career against Benin on Oct. 6. It will likely go down as one of the more significant matches of all time, watching one of the all time greats, if not the all time great, hanging up hit boots for his national team for the final time.
