Inter Miami have entered a difficult period after failing to win any of their last five matches in all competitions, leaving Lionel Messi facing a rare scenario that has not occurred in his club career since 2013.\n <\/p>\n

\n The negative run began with a 2-1 defeat to Monterrey, followed by a 3-2 loss to Club Le\u00f3n and a heavy 4-1 defeat against Nashville. Inter Miami then drew 2-2 with Philadelphia Union before being held to a 1-1 draw by Toronto.\n <\/p>\n

\n Despite the team\u2019s poor results, Messi has continued to contribute offensively, scoring two goals and providing one assist during those five matches. The only game in which he failed to score or assist was against Club Le\u00f3n, when he came on as a substitute.\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n However, the current crisis has taken on greater significance for Messi himself, as the Argentine is now approaching the worst winless run of his club career.\n <\/p>\n

\n The only time Messi previously experienced a five-match winless run at club level came with Barcelona in 2013. During that stretch, Barcelona drew against Celta Vigo, Paris Saint-Germain and Athletic Bilbao, while suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.\n <\/p>\n

\n Now, Messi is just one match away from matching that historic run.\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n If Inter Miami fail to beat Montreal, Messi will match the longest winless run of his club career since 2013.\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n Inter Miami have a clear opportunity to end the streak when they host Montreal, who have recorded just one victory in their last seven matches. The American side also enters the game with a strong recent record against the Canadian club, having won their last three meetings since May 2024.\n <\/p>\n

\n At the same time, the numbers reveal another major problem for Inter Miami: their defensive struggles. The team have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight matches, with their most recent shutout coming against Montreal on July 25.\n <\/p>\n

\n There is still reason for Inter Miami to remain optimistic. Last season, the team went through a four-match winless run before responding with five consecutive MLS victories and eventually finishing the campaign by winning the MLS Cup.\n <\/p>\n

\n The current situation, however, appears more complicated, particularly after Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba retired at the end of last season, leaving a significant gap in terms of experience and defensive stability.\n <\/p>\n

\n As the crisis continues, attention will once again turn toward Messi. The Argentine star has the opportunity to help Inter Miami end the winless streak and avoid matching a rare negative record in his career, while another setback could place even greater pressure on both the team and its captain in the matches ahead.\n <\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
