Lionel Messi's words about the Mexican teams in the Leagues Cup

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are one step away from being able to crown the first title together in the journey of the Argentine captain in the United States and also the first in the history of the pink club. In the Leagues Cup run until reaching the final, the team prevailed against different teams from Mexico and the United States, and Messi spoke about the level of competition.

The MX League, which brings together Mexican teams, had generated controversy after complaining about the poor refereeing performance and the use of VAR in the Leagues Cup. The truth is that only one team from that country reached the semifinals of the competition, the CF Monterrey, and another was in the quarterfinals, Querétaro FC.

Regarding the performance of the Mexican teams in the tournament, Messi recalled the clashes he had against Mexican teams -against Cruz Azul in their first game- and highlighted their level, although he also highlighted that of Major League Soccer: "MLS showed that It is at a high level and that you can compete against the Liga MX clubs. All the matches in the Leagues Cup were very close and competitive, anyone can beat anyone and that's the feeling I have about what happens in MLS. I think it's a league where anyone can win and away it's more difficult”.
