Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are one step closer to winning their first trophy together.

Inter Miami won the Leagues Cup semifinal against the Philadelphia Union, and finally advanced to the grand final of the previously mentioned tournament, where they still do not know their rival. Lionel Messi shone once again, with a great goal from 32 meters.

Despite the fact that there were 4 goals from Inter Miami, the best was undoubtedly that of Lionel Messi. Leo received in the center circle, made a small drive and took a low left-footed shot that ended up hitting Andre Blake's left post. Now, according to ESPN, it is the furthest goal in Lionel Messi's career.

Thus, the team led by Gerardo Tata Martino technically managed to impose conditions in the match, thanks to the forcefulness of the Florida club's franchise players. Philadelphia, for its part, managed to score a goal, however, it was not enough.

Who is the final against?

As we mentioned, Inter Miami qualified for the final of the Lagues CUp. There they will face the winner of the crossing between Monterrey and Nashville, a match that will take place this Tuesday from 10:30 p.m. in Argentina at Geodis Park. If the trophy is finally disputed against Monterrey, the clash will have the added value that a Mexican team will try to take the title from Messi.
