Martínez, who recently made his debut for the Costa Rican national team, has been a standout performer in the United States. His impressive goal-scoring form has earned him a place among the top strikers in the MLS. With 16 goals to his name, he's hot on the heels of some of the biggest names in the sport.

"The team's mentality was to be offensive, and I think we achieved that," Martínez told ESPN. "I'm going to take advantage of this moment, return to my club to continue performing well, and hopefully continue to be considered for the national team."

Costa Rican Sensation Outshines Messi in MLS

While Martínez trails Messi by just one goal, he's also ahead of other notable names like Luis Suárez, Arango, Cucho Hernández, and Christian Benteke. The Costa Rican striker's remarkable performance has caught the attention of fans and pundits alike.

Despite the impressive company he keeps, Martínez remains humble and focused. "It's not so much about Messi, but all the strikers who have more goals," he said. "Of course, I want to be up there, and that's always the goal. As a striker, you always want to score more goals. We have a game this weekend, and I hope to continue this scoring streak."

Martínez's impressive form is a testament to his talent and dedication. As he continues to shine in the MLS, it's clear that he has a bright future ahead of him.
