LIONEL MESSI NEARS ALL-TIME RECORD AFTER STUNNING INTER MIAMI VICTORY

In a Game 3 victory over Nashville, South Carolina, on Saturday night, Lionel Messi continued to make history for Inter Miami by recording his 400th career assist, helping the Herons advance past the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs.
In the last game of the best-of-three series, Miami won 4–0, and Messi was the star of the show with two goals and as many assists. Over the course of the three games, the 38-year-old contributed to every goal his team scored and finished with five goals and three assists.
The Argentine maestro reached 400 career assists and 894 goals for club and country with his early playoff performance, which came after 29 goals and 19 assists in 29 regular-season games. Messi is just four assists shy of Ferenc Puskás's record of 404, and he leads all active players in assists.
Messi has distributed his assist production among all clubs and his senior national squad. He had 303 assists with FC Barcelona, 35 with Paris Saint-Germain, and 39 with Inter Miami. He has also contributed 63 assists for Argentina.
Messi became only the 13th player in MLS history to score five goals in a single postseason with his current total of five goals in the playoffs. He could try to match Carlos Ruiz's record of eight goals scored with the LA Galaxy in 2002 if Miami makes a deep run, which could take up to three more games.
Messi and third-seeded Miami are now getting ready for a single-knockout Eastern Conference semifinal matchup against second-seeded FC Cincinnati at TQL Stadium after defeating Nashville in the first round. The team's goal is to advance to the Eastern Conference Final and face either the Philadelphia Union or New York City FC.
After losing in the opening round of the 2024 MLS Cup playoffs, despite great performances from Messi and others, they also removed any worries with the victory.
Javier Mascherano praised Messi's effort off the ball, despite the fact that his performance in possession will rightfully earn all the praise. The coach of Inter Miami said, "Leo is the one who led our team in the high press, and for him to accomplish that at age 38 is ridiculous."
"What he did without the ball was amazing, but we all know what he can do with it."
Due in large part to their lucky number 10, Inter Miami will face FC Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference semifinal later this month. In the brief existence of the team, the Herons have already made more progress than they have in the past, but Miami wants more.
Losing was not an option. Defensive end Noah Allen remarked, "I have carried that pain from last year." "The players that were here last year obviously carried it, even though I know there are a lot of new ones. We are a group of exceptional people. We are not a team that is eliminated in the first round.
They would play the Western Conference champion on December 6 against one of Thomas Muller's Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Son Heung-min's LAFC, San Diego FC, Portland Timbers, or Minnesota United if they were to win the Eastern Conference this fall.
GRAND FINAL HERO BACK AT RHINOS TO INSPIRE COACHING SUCCESS
Leeds Rhinos have appointed 2012 Grand Final winner Shaun Lunt as a reserves coach. The former England hooker will assist Chev Walker, helping to develop the next generation of stars at Headingley.

One of the Grand Final winners has rejoined the Leeds Rhinos as a coach.
Shaun Lunt, a former England hooker who played for the Rhinos twice, will support reserves manager Chev Walker in the upcoming campaign. Lunt played a part in Leeds' 2012 Super League title retention victory over Warrington Wolves at Old Trafford.
He was loaned to the Rhinos from the Huddersfield Giants for that season. He returned seven years later in a trade that saw Matt Parcell join Hull KR. The 38-year-old Cumbrian played for Workington Town, Batley Bulldogs, and Castleford Tigers before starting his professional career.
Having coached the Pennine League team Mirfield, Lunt said on social media that he is "unbelievably thrilled" to be helping Walker. "It is really an enormous honour to return to Leeds and assist with the next generation of players," he continued.
This year, Walker led the Rhinos' reserves to a Grand Final victory and the top spot on the standings. In addition, he oversaw the academy, which finished second in both the league and the championship match. Walker will continue to lead the second-string, and Simon Brown, a former Leeds player, will take over as the under-18s coach for the upcoming campaign.
ANTHONY JOSHUA’S FUTURE CLARIFIED —EDDIE HEARN TACKLES THREE BIG RUMOURS
Anthony Joshua's next move is unclear as promoter Eddie Hearn addresses trainer change rumours, a potential Jake Paul fight, and a possible 2025 return. The focus remains on a future Tyson Fury mega-fight.

The boxing community is speculating about Anthony Joshua's future move.
The former world heavyweight champion has not competed since Daniel Dubois knocked him out at Wembley Stadium a year ago.
However, he is considering a comeback to the ring and laying the groundwork for a big battle with Tyson Fury.
He has a number of interesting alternatives on the table, but it is unclear what he will do next. Three rumours regarding Joshua's potential next move were dispelled by his promoter, Eddie Hearn.
Is Joshua going to get a new trainer?
Joshua's last three fights, which ended in a knockout loss against Dubois, were coached by Ben Davison.
However, he just travelled to Spain to attend the training camp where his previous opponent, the undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, is getting ready.
However, that does not imply that Joshua will turn to Usyk's inner group for advice.
When asked if Joshua would split from Davison by Matchroom's Flash Knockdown, Hearn said, "I do not think there is any confirmed decision on that."
"AJ travels the world a lot, as you are aware. He enjoys exploring, going to training camps, and learning new things.
"He is currently engaged in that activity.
It is commonly known that he visited the Usyk team and collaborated with them.
"I do not believe anything is official. And Anthony Joshua will be the one to make an official announcement.
Will Joshua and Jake Paul face off?
Jake Paul, a YouTuber who is now a boxer, has brazenly added Joshua to his list of opponents.
Paul has previously told ESPN, "That is the most hazardous fight for me right now."
The disparity in size is striking. Joshua weighed 52 pounds more than Paul, who had battled at 200 pounds.
But Hearn has set the stage for an incredible battle versus Paul.
"Why not run out versus Jake Paul for a lot of money if we are going to have a run-out fight?" he said. Discussions are going on.
"I am unable to confirm that we have seen a contract or that it is close. However, I do not see why we would not have the opportunity to fight Joshua if he truly wants to.
"A run for the world heavyweight title and at Tyson Fury are our main priorities. However, we also do not influence that. Hearn further stated:
"Talks with Jake Paul's team have taken place."I am not sure if that is a possibility.
In 2025, will Joshua compete on short notice?
Due to the difficulty of organising a fight of Joshua's calibre, turnarounds with little notice are practically impossible.
However, Hearn's statement to DAZN that Joshua may still compete in 2025 generated controversy.
The diary's entries for the dates of December 6, 13, 17, 20, and 27 were the focus of attention.
Joshua has the opportunity to realise his dream of fighting on the African continent when Craig Richards and Dan Azeez square off in Ghana on December 17.
Hearn gave an update, saying, "I am not sure if he will fight in 2025. The likelihood that he can is high. However, when I say that, people ask, 'where' and begin to examine every possible location.
"He is looking to fight and has begun training camp. That may happen in February, versus Jake Paul, or on one of our current concerts, but at this point, anything is possible."
Regarding his earlier remark that Joshua might fight this year, Hearn stated: "It has really caused me a lot of issues! They are speculating as to whether it is Ghana, Birmingham, or Stockton. "I do not know," is the response.
"There are negotiations regarding a hypothetical Anthony Joshua fight in Africa in 2026," Hearn added.
