Lionel Messi and Inter Miami play their most important game to date, as they play the Leagues Cup semifinals against the Philadelphia Union. What seemed to be a difficult match, Inter Miami is already winning it 2-0 with goals from Messi and Josef Martinez.

Lionel Messi received displays of affection in all the games he played with Inter Miami, both at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale and in Texas, when he played away against FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup round of 16. However, that ended in Pennsylvania, more precisely in Subaru Park, within the framework of the semifinals of the aforementioned contest.

Although the captain of the Argentine National Team is a world figure who transcends colors due to his status as the best player in the world, the Philadelphia Union fans made him a hostile climate when Leo jumped onto the field of play along with his teammates to warm up. As soon as he set foot on the pitch, the fans booed the man from Rosario so that he would not feel so comfortable in the match that will define one of the finalists.

Lionel Messi wants his trophy number 43:

Throughout his career, adding all his teams (FC Barcelona, Inter Miami, Argentina's national team, Paris Saint-Germain), 42 trophies. The Leagues Cup could be his 43rd title and also his first trophy since he came to the United States.
