With the end of Messi’s season in the United States, the player had impressive numbers, a title and sees the next few months as unknown
The season of Lionel Messi as InterMiami came to an end last weekend, with the defeat to Charlotte F.C.. This is because the team was eliminated from MLS, and will only play again in February, but the Argentine star ends 2023 with really impressive numbers.
Presented at the beginning of July, Messi made 14 appearances for the team, scoring 11 goals and also providing five assists to his teammates. As a comparison, the team’s top scorer this year was Josef Martinezwho needed 32 games to score 12 goals, still just one goal ahead of Lionel.
During this period, the Argentine managed to lead Inter Miami to its first title in history, in the Leagues Cup, where he joined teams from the United States and Mexico. Winning the final on penalties, the North American team had Messi scoring in every game and winning the awards for top scorer and best player of the tournament.
After the last game, the athlete published a thank you text on his social networks: “I’m proud of everything the team did this season. With everyone’s work and effort, we were able to win the Leagues Cup, achieving the first title in Inter Miami’s history. We have all the best and, above all, we want to improve so that we can be even more competitive next year. I’m sure we will continue to experience incredible moments together, as has already happened in recent months.“, he wrote.
From now on, until the end of the year, the player will have official commitments only for the Argentine National Team, including facing Brazil next month in the Qualifiers. The expectation, however, is that the Miami team will schedule friendlies during the period so as not to leave them inactive for so long.
