Lionel Messi scored Inter Miami's ninth goal in six matches, despite ankle injury

Posted : 16 August 2023
Overcoming an injury scare, Lionel Messi showcased his unwavering prowess by netting his ninth goal in six matches, propelling Inter Miami to a triumphant victory over Philadelphia Union and securing their place in the Leagues Cup final.
 
In a remarkable display of skill, the Argentinian World Cup champion notched Miami's second goal in a commanding 4-1 triumph, just a day after sustaining an ankle injury during training. Complementing Messi's contribution, Josef Martinez, Jordi Alba, and David Ruiz added to the scoreline for Miami, while Alejandro Bedoya managed to find the target for the hosts.
 
With this victory, Inter Miami earns the right to face Nashville SC in the upcoming final, scheduled for Saturday. Beyond the immediate success, the outcome carries further significance as Miami's qualification for the Concacaf Champions Cup regional tournament for the forthcoming season is confirmed. This achievement could potentially pave the way for a passage into the expanded Club World Cup organized by FIFA in 2025.
 
Reflecting on the accomplishment, Gerardo Martino, the manager of Inter Miami, expressed his satisfaction, stating, "Our objective was to secure a spot in international competition for the upcoming season, and we have accomplished that goal." Martino also emphasized the team's renewed focus on clinching victory in the ongoing tournament, noting the prevailing sense of motivation and confidence.
 
Inter Miami's remarkable streak of six consecutive victories, since the addition of Lionel Messi to their ranks in July, sets the stage for the 36-year-old football maestro to gear up for his 42nd career final. This particular final, situated within a World Cup-style knockout competition that features teams from both Mexico and Major League Soccer in the United States, is a testament to Messi's enduring brilliance.
 
Nashville SC will serve as the host for the forthcoming final, having secured their place in the championship encounter with a well-earned 2-0 triumph over Monterrey. The stage is now set for a thrilling clash as Inter Miami and Nashville SC vie for glory in the highly anticipated Leagues Cup final.
