The Argentine added his first North American title and showed his camaraderie before lifting the trophy.
Lionel Messi’s first title in the United States left behind several memorable moments. His big goal to open the scoring, a long penalty shootout in the definition and the celebrations set the tone for Inter Miami’s win over Nashville.
It was precisely this last postcard that captivated the planet and it was that Messi made a great gesture with his partner deandre yedlin , captain of the Florida team before the arrival of the world champion. The situation happened in the middle of the celebrations and just before the players began to climb the podium set up for the occasion.
Thus, the American, with stages through Newcastle, Galatasaray and Tottenham, lifted with 10 the first trophy in the history of Inter Miami. Yedlin had been captain of the pink team since 2022, when he took the saddle four times. In this 2023, he was already wearing it with total regularity.
Inter Miami’s first title
The arrival of Lionel Messi in Miami has caused a 180 degree change within the team. From being last in the Eastern Conference and without knowing a win in the last 12 games, Beckham’s men have won seven games in a row and won the first title in their history.
Tour where the former Barcelona player was the protagonist, since he not only led the team with his experience, but also finished the League Cup as top scorer (9 goals) and scoring in each of the matches he played.
That’s why the illusion now goes directly to MLS. Can Inter make a comeback and qualify for the playoffs? What we have seen on the pitch in recent weeks in the Coupe des Ligues makes us think that anything is possible. Of course, before that, they will have to debut in the US Open Cup, an official tournament where teams from the United States play. They will have the semi-finals on August 23.
It could be the 45th title for Messi, who has already made it clear that he is aiming for everything at Miami. “CHAMPS!!! Very happy to get the first title in the history of this club. Everyone’s hard work and commitment made this possible. Let’s hope this is just the beginning… Let’s go “, he wrote on social networks after the victory against Nashville.
