Inter Miami captain, Lionel Messi, in the early hours of Sunday reached 936 career goals.

Messi scored a brace for Inter Miami against Atlanta United in the Major League Soccer and reached 936 career goals at 39 years old.

The match, which ended 3-1 in favour of Inter Miami, was played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Messi is now just 64 goals away from reaching the historic 1,000-goal milestone.

The Argentine will hope to continue his impressive display when Inter Miami face New York Red Bulls next weekend.

The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner recently retired from the Argentina national football team.
