(VIDEO) Cincinnati FC's captain asks for Messi's shirt when the game had not even started

Inter Miami currently loses 1-0 against Cincinnati FC in a match corresponding to the semifinals of the US Open Cup. Lionel Messi and Inter Miami do not have a good time in a match where they could be eliminated if the game continues in the same way . Now, what the Cincinnati player did when he saw Messi in the game is surprising.

Acosta, Argentine and captain of Cincinnati FC, did not hesitate to talk to Messi and presumably ask him for the shirt once the match was over. Lionel Messi did not hesitate to answer him and both started an unexpected conversation that really gave an image for posterity between both elements.

In the Leagues Cup final, Messi not only lifted the trophy with the United States national team, but also presented the captain's badge to the 30-year-old winger, who at least this season had worn the band at club games. A gesture that suggests the figure of the footballer.

Will Messi be able to lead Miami to the playoffs?

The great challenge of the Argentine player will be to try to qualify his team for the MLS playoffs. Tata Martino's team is not in the best position and must win almost all of its remaining games if it hopes to make the playoffs to challenge for the MLS championship.
