Milestones
20Inter Miami goals

400Best Player awards
Four hundred Best Player awards is an absurd haul for any career, and he has stacked the last hundred on top of 300 as if individual dominance were routine. At this scale, being the standout on the pitch isn’t an exception for him — it’s the default setting.
