Lionel Messi has a strong scoring history lately and is about to tie his own record after scoring in 8 straight games.

Lionel Messi is hoping to continue his scoring spree against Cincinatti in the US Open Cup semifinals. Since moving to the country, the 36-year-old has been carrying the “underdog” Inter Miami Leagues Cup champion.

Including the goal he scored against Australia in a friendly match of the Argentina national team to set a record of 8 consecutive matches, Messi has 10 goals at Inter Miami and 7 straight games.
