Watch Lionel Messi break yet another record with 12-minute hat-trick for Inter Miami

Lionel Messi scored three goals in 12 minutes as Inter Miami came from two goals down to beat New England Revolution 6-2 and break Major League Soccer's single-season points record

Lionel Messi netted a hat-trick in just 12 minutes during Inter Miami's 6-2 thrashing of New England Revolution, breaking Major League Soccer’s single-season points record. The Argentinian superstar scored in the 78th, 81st and 89th minutes, marking Inter Miami’s 22nd victory of the season.

Despite suffering four losses and eight draws, the Herons finished with a record-breaking 74 points. Already securing the top play-off spot, the only target left for Inter Miami was the points record, which seemed uncertain as New England took an early 2-0 lead.

However, a double from Luis Suarez levelled the score before half-time. Messi made his mark in the second half, assisting Benjamin Cremaschi to put Miami ahead in the 58th minute before rounding off the win with his late goal spree.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced on Saturday night that Inter Miami will participate in the 2025 Club World Cup, set to kick off in Miami on June 15.

Elsewhere, Harry Kane scored his third hat-trick of the season as Bayern Munich ended their three-match Bundesliga winless run with a 4-0 victory over Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. The England captain struck all three goals in the second half - adding to his treble against Holstein Kiel and a four-goal haul against Dinamo Zagreb.

Kingsley Coman added a fourth late on as Bayern ended the day top of the table on goal difference. RB Leipzig had earlier won 2-0 at Mainz, with Xavi Simons and Willi Orban scoring in the first half.
