Inter Miami’s superstar Lionel Messi delivered another historic performance on Sunday, Cristiano Ronaldo stunned the Saudi Pro League with an acrobatic 90+6th-minute bicycle kick, and Real Madrid were forced into a tense 2-2 draw after late drama against Elche. Here’s the full roundup shaking global football.

Messi’s Goal and Three Assists Fire Inter Miami Into Eastern Conference Final

Inter Miami crushed FC Cincinnati 4-0 at TQL Stadium, with Lionel Messi recording one goal and three assists, including two decisive setups each for Mateo Silvetti and Tadeo Allende.

Messi now holds a playoff-record 12 goal contributions this postseason and has reached 1,300 career goal involvements, cementing his dominance in MLS.

Miami have now scored 25 goals in their last seven matches, with Messi directly involved in 22 of them, as they move on to face New York City FC on Saturday for a spot in the MLS Cup Final.

Ronaldo Scores Sensational 90+6′ Bicycle Kick as Al-Nassr Win 4-1

Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a moment of pure brilliance in Al-Nassr’s 4-1 victory over Al-Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League, sealing the match with a stunning overhead kick deep in stoppage time.

Goals from Sadio Mané and João Félix had Al-Nassr in control before Al-Khaleej pulled one back. Ronaldo’s acrobatic finish—drawing comparisons to his legendary 2018 Juventus bicycle kick—took his tally to 954 career goals.

He celebrated by pointing to the sky, then was symbolically “crowned” by teammate Salem Al-Dawsari, a moment now going viral among fans.

The win keeps Al-Nassr unbeaten at the top of the league, extending their dominant run.

Real Madrid Held 2-2 by Elche After Late VAR-Checked Drama

Real Madrid were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw after a chaotic final 10 minutes at the Bernabéu.

Elche struck first through Aleix Febas before Dean Huijsen equalized with a header reportedly assisted by Jude Bellingham. Elche responded again through Álvaro Rodríguez, but Bellingham rescued Madrid with an 87th-minute leveller.

Controversy erupted when Madrid scored amid a collision involving Vinícius Júnior and Elche goalkeeper Iñaki Peña. VAR reviewed the incident and allowed the goal to stand, with Peña later saying the contact was “normal play.”

The result leaves Real Madrid on 32 points, just one point above Barcelona after 13 matches.
