With what he earns, Messi could buy his Leagues Cup rival twice over

This Wednesday, Puebla de la Franja received one of the most important pieces of news in recent years, as it was confirmed that they will face Inter of Miami, where the Argentine Lionel Messi plays, during the second edition of the Leagues Cup to be held in the summer of 2024.

During the draw held a few hours ago, the Camoteros were paired in Group East 3 along with the Florida team and Tigres of Liga MX. This is an important impact for the Angelópolis team as they will be able to face one of the best players in history. The DRV PNK stadium in Florida will host the clash between Messi's team and La Franja, which will be able to celebrate this match in the year in which it celebrates its 80th anniversary, since next May 7 will mark eight decades since it was founded.

This match will have many contrasts, since while Miami has stars, besides Messi, such as Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, La Franja has one of the most discreet squads in recent years, its most important element being captain Diego de Buen.

The differences

The most important difference is that Lionel Messi generates some 50 million dollars a year in salary and advertising revenue, while the entire current Puebla squad is valued at almost 25 million dollars, which shows the inferiority of the Franja, at least in terms of numbers, with respect to the rival they will face.
