Messi Scores As Inter Miami Lift Leagues Cup by ManirBK: 11:44am On Aug 20, 2023 |
Messi was hailed as the "best in the world"
as he scored a 10th goal in seven games to help
his Inter Miami side to their first trophy.
The 36-year-old Argentinian fired into the top corner
from outside the box to give Miami the lead against
Nashville SC in the Leagues Cup final.
Fafa Picault levelled in the second half to send the
game to penalties.
Miami sealed a 10-9 shootout win when Drake
Callender saved Nashville goalkeeper Elliot
Panicco's spot-kick.
Miami had the worst record in Major League Soccer
this season before World Cup-winning forward
Messi arrived last month alongside former
Barcelona team-mates Jordi Alba and Sergio
Busquets.
They are now unbeaten in seven games on their
way to winning the Leagues Cup, a tournament
featuring MLS and Mexican Liga MX clubs.
It was the club's first trophy since being formed in
2020.
They also have the chance to reach another final
when they play Cincinnati in the semi-final of the US
Open Cup on Wednesday.
Co-owner David Beckham said the former Barcelona
trio were instrumental in the club's change in
fortunes: "It is like a movie, you watch these
players play and, emotionally, everything about their
play is beautiful."
Spain midfielder Busquets added: "The team is
growing by leaps and bounds and we are very
happy.
"We are making a solid team - and then we have
Leo, who makes a difference because he's the best
in the world."
The win also meant seven-time Ballon d'Or winner
Messi - who was named player of the tournament -
has now won 44 trophies, more than any other
player. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66562210 mynd44 oam4j lalasticlala seun nlfpmod |
