Lionel Messi shines in the USA with a style that blinds everyone. Inter Miami, with one of the best footballers in history in the team, won their sixth game in a row. The team from Florida will now go to the final of the cup competition and ride a wave of euphoria.
If things go similarly in the league, Inter Miami are not without a chance of making the play-offs. In MLS, the team from Florida is still in last place and there is no worse team in the competition. However, with the arrival of Messi, 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 behind the playoff spots. However, Inter is not thinking about that at the moment. Messi took them to the Leagues Cup final.
The cup competition, which is attended by teams from the top Mexican and American leagues, is a great preparation for Miami for the return of MLS, even though it is a serious competition. Messi and co., however, are destroying their opponents as if it were no big deal, 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 lastly Philadelphia (4-1).
Miami played the Pennsylvania team in the semifinals of the Leagues Cup and secured the final. This was the sixth game Messi has played in. And he scored in it too. After six games, he has nine goals and one assist.
“I’ve achieved everything in football, now I’m just enjoying it,” Messi told a press conference.
The Argentine striker had a very lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia, where his former rival Cristiano Ronaldo has gone, and also his former teammate from Barcelona and PSG, who is none other than Neymar.
Messi, however, has chosen a different path and, it must be said, a very good one. He is shining in the USA and is of course being noticed everywhere in the world.
