Inter Miami: Lionel Messi won his first trophy in America and became the most successful player in history

Lionel Messi won his first title in America after winning the League Cup last night with Inter Miami and became the most successful player in history with 44 trophies.

It didn’t take long for Lionel Messi to lift his first trophy in America. Less than a month after arriving at Inter Miami, the Argentine won the League Cup overnight from Saturday to Sunday, defeating Nashville after a penalty shootout (1 -1, 10 Tab 9). And, once again, the former Parisian contributed greatly to his new team’s crown. Midway through the first period, he opened the scoring with a shot into the top corner (23^e) then he converted the first shot of his formation on target.

Since signing, Lionel Messi has completely changed the face of Inter Miami. Despite having won only one of its ten games before seeing the seven-time Ballon d’Or land (6 defeats, 3 draws), the Florida team was unbeaten in seven games after the visit of “La Pulca”, who had already scored ten goals. His new colors.

With this first trophy across the Atlantic, Lionel Messi won the 44th title of his career, joining Brazil’s Daniel Alves as the most successful player in history. This league trophy comes on top of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the 2021 Copa America, four Champions Leagues won with Barcelona (2006, 2009, 2011, 2015), 10 Spanish league titles or two Ligue 1 championships.

And despite his 36 years, it may not be over. Because Lionel Messi and his team will try to qualify for a second consecutive final on Wednesday. To achieve this, they need to beat Cincinnati, the best team in Major League Soccer this season, in the semifinals of the United States Cup. But that was before Argentina arrived.
