Germán Berterame has added his name to the latest Inter Miami scoring update, scoring against Philadelphia Union as Lionel Messi stayed miles out front on the club's all-time list. Messi now has 90 goals in 103 matches, with Luis Suárez second on 45 after also adding a triplet to his tally.
That gap matters because Inter Miami only began playing in Major League Soccer in 2020, yet its scoring record is already being shaped by a handful of players across several competitions. Messi's total covers Major League Soccer, the Leagues Cup, the US Open Cup, the Concachampions and the Mundial de Clubes, which is part of why his lead has opened so quickly.
The rest of the list shows how compressed the history still is. Leonardo Campana finished with 32 goals in 100 matches, Gonzalo Higuaín had 29 in 70, and Berterame's recent goal pushes him into a conversation that would barely exist at an older club. At this pace, the chase is not really for first place; it is for the distance between Messi and everyone else.
That is the friction inside Inter Miami's rise. It is still a young team, but its scoring ladder already has a clear summit and a sharp drop below it. Messi is not only leading it; he is pulling away from it, and the next time the chart moves, the question will be whether anyone can even trim the lead before he reaches 100.
