The American dream continues. Lionel Messi reigned supreme once again and Inter Miami won their sixth game in a row with the best footballer in history on the team. The team from Florida will now go to the final of the cup competition.
If things go similarly in the league, Inter Miami is not without a chance of making the play-offs. In the MLS, the team from Florida is still in last place and there is no worse team in the competition. However, with the arrival of the best footballer in history, the game and results have changed beyond recognition.
Miami has won only 5 out of 22 games in the league and has 14 defeats. They are 12 points out of the playoffs. However, Inter is not thinking about that at the moment. Lionel Messi took them to the Leagues Cup final.
The cup competition, which involves teams from the top Mexican and top American leagues, is a great preparation for Miami to return to MLS, even though it is a serious competition. However, Messi and co. are destroying their opponents like it’s nothing except for two evenly matched games.
On the Argentine’s debut, Inter beat Cruz Azul (2: 1), followed by wins over Atlanta (4: 0), Orlando (3: 1), Dallas (5: 4 after extra time), Charlotte (4: 0) and the last team to go down to Philadelphia (4: 1).
It was with the Pennsylvania team that Miami played the semifinals of the Leagues Cup and secured the final. It was the sixth game Messi has played in. He scored in that game as well. After six games, he has 9 goals and 1 assist.
This time Messi did not shine with a goal from a direct kick, but he did show a different kind of show. He took a shot from about 30 yards out, beating the Philadelphia Union goalkeeper. He couldn’t have done better.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, Messi and co. will play in the cup final. Miami’s opponent will be the unpleasant Nashville, which has beaten the likes of Club América and Monterrey.
