Lionel Messi’s start to the new Major League Soccer season has been impressive, even by the Argentine great’s lofty standards.

On Saturday, the 36-year-old continued his fine goalscoring form, netting twice as Inter Miami beat the New England Revolution 4-1 in front of a record crowd at the Gillette Stadium. Inter Miami sits atop the MLS Eastern Conference after a brilliant start which has included six victories in 11 games. Messi has been the creator and goalscorer in chief during that period, scoring nine league goals – currently the most by any player in the MLS – and recording seven assists.

Bottom-of-the-division Revolution took an early lead through Tomás Chancalay, but Messi’s goals, in the 32nd and 68th minute, put Miami in command. Benjamin Cremaschi extended the advantage in the 83rd minute before Messi turned provider to set up Luis Suárez for a late goal. “People come to every stadium to see Leo, that’s true, but they also want their team to win,” Miami head coach Gerardo Martino said in Spanish postgame, per the MLS.
