The new record that Lionel Messi seeks to break tonight in the United States

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are preparing for the difficult match they will have against the Philadelphia Union, in what will be the semi-finals of the 2023/2024 Leagues Cup. In addition to seeking a ticket to the grand final, the Argentine would have a record to chase if he wins today.

In this case it would be a personal record. And it is that, in the event that Inter Miami beats Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park, Leo will play the fastest final of his career. If he manages to access the last instance of the Leagues Cup, it will only have taken 29 days since his arrival in the United States, well below what happened with Barcelona and PSG.

With Barcelona's team, it took him 670 days to fight for his first title. It was the 2006 Spanish Super Cup against Espanyol, where the Catalans prevailed with a 4-0 aggregate. Prior to that, the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League final had taken place, but Messi was unable to play it due to injury. Later, with Paris Saint-Germain, he would take 336 days to play for the French Champions Trophy.
