Javier Mascherano Unbothered by Messi’s Poor Record Against Cincinnati

Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano expressed no concerns about Lionel Messi’s poor record against Cincinnati — given the player’s impressive recent performances.

La Pulga has shown remarkable sharpness in MLS 2025 by scoring braces in five consecutive matches — starting with a 4-2 victory over Montreal.

Messi’s impressive run continued with:

• Two goals in a 5-1 demolition of Columbus
• A brace in a 4-1 away win at Montreal
• Double strike against New England
• Latest pair of goals against Nashville
