Lionel Messi keeps on making records wherever he goes and he has done that in the United States (US) as well, just after seven games.
Messi guided Inter Miami to their first-ever Leagues Cup victory and became the most decorated footballer in history with 44 trophies.
Individual accolades or team titles, the Argentine leads in all as he has also won the Ballon d’Or seven times and the Golden Boot six times, which is the most by any player in history.
The Leagues Cup final between Inter Miami and Nashville ended 1-1 after 90 minutes. The game went to penalties and Messi’s teammates held their nerves and scored 10 out of 11 penalties and clinched the title.
Messi scored an absolute stunner in the 27th minute of the game after dribbling his opponent and then curled the ball into the top-left corner, a goal similar to the one he scored against AC Milan in the 2012-13 Champions League season.
The 36-year-old was praised by football fans for his never-ending brilliance and here is how he was applauded.
Messi is yet to play a league game for Inter Miami but his Leagues Cup campaign was just filled with greatness.
In his debut against Cruz Azul, he came on as a substitute and scored an injury-time free-kick and won the game for his team.
In his first start against Atlanta United, the 36-year-old scored two goals and provided an assist.
He scored two more goals in the derby against Orlando City and secured his team’s place in the Round of 16.
He also scored two goals in the Round of 16 match against FC Dallas, a goal against Charlotte in the quarter-finals, and then another goal against Philadelphia in the semi-finals.
Messi scored nine goals and provided one assist during his title-winning campaign.
Messi’s trophy cabinet includes a World Cup, Copa America, and CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions with Argentina.
With FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, he won 12 league titles, four Champions Leagues, eight Spanish Super Cups, seven Copa del Rey, three UEFA Super Cups, three FIFA Club World Cups, and one Trophee des Champions.
