In addition to the Leagues Cup, the trophy that Lionel Messi could win with Inter Miami

Inter Miami went from being the worst team in MLS to facing the possibility of winning the first title in its history in the Leagues Cup. Lionel Messi found a team stuck at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and with a losing streak of several games without victories, but since the man from Rosario made his debut with the pink shirt, they have won all the matches and were one step away from shouting champion.

Now, despite the fact that all the spotlights are on the aforementioned contest and what the captain of the Argentine National Team can do in the MLS in order to achieve a difficult qualification for the Playoffs, the truth is that there is another competition that finds the Garzas in decisive instances and could become another title for Leo in the United States.

This is the US Open Cup. Despite Inter's weak level before Messi and company landed at the DRV PNK Stadium, the franchise founded by David Beckham managed to advance in the cup and are in the semifinals. They will face Cincinnati on August 23 as a visitor and, if they overcome that instance, they will fight again for another title in 2023.

What other teams are in the US Open Cup semifinal?

In the other bracket of the tournament, Houston Dynamo and Real Salt Lake appear. Inter Miami, meanwhile, had to leave Miami FC, Charleston, Nashville (the team they will face in the Leagues Cup final) and Birmingham on the road to reach the semifinals.
