After missing the US Open Cup final, the fans' great concern about Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami failed to win the US Open Cup final. The Argentine's absence seems to have weighed heavily. The Argentine did not manage to have important minutes in this match, in fact, he did not even make it to the bench, this because the player did not feel in the best of conditions. Now, major concerns about the true seriousness of Lionel Messi's offer are beginning to emerge.

The Texas team defeated the Garzas at the DRV PNK Stadium in the final of the US Open Cup thanks to goals from Griffin Dorsey and Amine Bassi, both in the first half. Lionel Messi, the star, did not participate in the team led by Gerardo Martino, who watched the actions from his box due to a muscle injury. In his place was Facundo Farías. The visiting team was superior throughout the match and took advantage of the absences of Leo and Jordi Alba.

Now, despite the great disappointment, the truth is that Inter was never close to winning the match. The locals were outplayed from start to finish and could have even lost by more, but Drake Callender made important saves and the VAR even disallowed Houston Dynamo's goal for offside. Griffin Dorsey opened the scoring 24 minutes into the first half after a great counterattack and Amine Bassi extended the lead nine minutes later from the penalty spot. At the end, in the added bonus, Josef Martínez scored a goal with assistance from Facu Farías, but there was no time for the feat.

The great concern of Messi's fans

On social networks, fans are worried about Messi's situation. From this, it is worrying that the Argentine will miss the final due to an injury. It is one of the few times this happens. Once in his box, Messi very attentively followed every instance of the meeting between his teammates and the Houston team. The duel was able to start on time despite the threats of new rains that could have delayed the start.
