"“That's an extraordinary record, one that marks a path,” Hoyos said. “I believe we have to protect him even more. He needs more protection. Because there aren't many Leo Messi's. There's only one.”"
"“That class of players [like Messi], Rodri [De Paul] as well, guys like Suarez, and successful players like that, we have to protect them and take care of them. Why? Because they fill stadiums.”"
"“The real protagonists in all this are the players. It's as clear as that.” “They express themselves in an extraordinary way,” Hoyos said of his squad. “And when they express themselves, they open any defence, any game situation. We're talking about people who are cracks.”"
"Messi and his compatriot Rodrigo de Paul both scored and provided two assists as Miami crushed Toronto FC 4-2 at BMO Field. In netting Miami's final goal, Messi hit 100 goal involvements in MLS, achieving the feat in just 75 games. He has surpassed former Toronto star Sebastian Giovinco (95 games) as the fastest player to reach the landmark."
Lionel Messi and Rodrigo de Paul powered Inter Miami to a 4-2 win over Toronto FC at BMO Field. Messi and De Paul each scored and combined for two assists, with Luis Suarez scoring after a Messi and De Paul link. Sergio Reguilon added a goal from a Messi assist, and Messi scored Miami’s final goal. The win returned Miami to form after a loss to Orlando City. Messi achieved 100 goal involvements in MLS in 75 games, surpassing Sebastian Giovinco’s 95 games record. Guillermo Hoyos said Messi needs extra protection because few players like him exist and they draw crowds. Emilio Aristizabal scored twice late for Toronto, and Miami remained third in the Eastern Conference.
