00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Minyl Messi is dominating headlines this week as he powers

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>into Miami into uncharted territory in Major League Soccer. On Sunday,

3
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.519
<v Speaker 1>Messi orchestrated a four zero demolition of f C Cincinnati

4
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>in the Eastern Conference semi Final, scoring once and delivering

5
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.879
<v Speaker 1>a hat trick of assists to set the all time

6
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>MLS postseason record for most goals and assists combined at

7
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>twelve for a single campaign. Coach Javier Mascherano called Messi's work,

8
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>ethic and leadership unbelievable, highlighting not just his technical prowess,

9
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>but the way he leads the team from the front

10
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 1>on defense as well. Messi's burgeoning partnership with young forward

11
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Matteo Servetti was on full display, with Silvetti not only

12
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 1>setting up Messi's opener but also scoring himself, suggesting the

13
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>future of Miami's attack may already be here, even as

14
00:00:52.039 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Luis Aerez watched from the bench. Miami, now two wins

15
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.079
<v Speaker 1>away from its first MLS Cup, is on the brink

16
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of history, and Messi holds the MLS Golden Boot for

17
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five with twenty nine regular season goals. His

18
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>scoring streak now at eleven in the last seven games.

19
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>According to CBS Sports and MLS Soccer reports, Messi's influence

20
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>remains enormous off the pitch too. His recent Instagram post

21
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>marking an emotional return to camp now has gone viral

22
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>with thirty one point three million likes, making it the

23
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 1>most liked sports picture of twenty twenty five so far.

24
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>According to Reality Tea and Mandatory, the post is threatening

25
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>to eclipse even Taylor Swift's engagement announcement in Instagram engagement

26
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 1>as fans trade barbs on x formerly Twitter over who

27
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 1>reigns supreme online. Messi's understated social media style compared to

28
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>his global reach, continues to astonish even seasoned observers. On

29
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>his own social feeds, Messi kept it cool postmatch, sharing

30
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>let's go great match from the whole team against an

31
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>opponent that had always been very tough for us. One

32
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>more step. His message is now circulating across global media.

33
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>As recorded by Bolavip, there was a brief social media

34
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>flare up indirectly involving Messi when White House photos of

35
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump with Cristiano Ronaldo mentioned as two goats, spurred

36
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 1>a wave of means and commentary about Messi's absence and

37
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 1>his standing among all time greats. While much of this

38
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>was tongue in cheek, it highlighted how Messi's name is

39
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>now a benchmark in any conversation about sporting greatness, even

40
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>when he is not directly involved. Per The Times of India,

41
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>all eyes now turned to November twenty ninth, where Messi

42
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 1>and Inter Miami will face either the Philadelphia Union or

43
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>New York City FC with a chance to reach their

44
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>first ever MLS Cup final. With form, records and social

45
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 1>media cloud all trending upward, Bessie remains one of the

46
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.000
