Lionel Messi now has 911 career goals to his name. That number leaves him exactly 89 goals short of becoming the first player in football history to reach the 1,000-goal mark.

The Argentine legend, currently plying his trade at Inter Miami, reached his 900th career goal on March 18, 2026, in a match against Nashville SC. He’s added 11 more since.

From the pitch to the blockchain

Back in March 2022, Messi signed a deal worth over $20 million to promote Socios.com, the fan token platform that let supporters buy digital tokens tied to their favorite clubs.

He also promoted WaterCoin (WATER), a Solana-based memecoin. That endorsement led to a significant short-term price spike.
