Inter Miami players react abnormally when taking pictures without Messi

Less than a month after Lionel Messi's debut with Inter Miami, the Argentinian star has become key to helping the Florida state team win the Leagues Cup and achieve its first title.

The 36-year-old striker took on the role of leading a team in crisis with 11 games without a sense of victory and ranked last in the Eastern region of the American professional football league (MLS). But everything changed when Messi arrived and his presence was so important to his teammates that they couldn't take a picture without the new captain.

In the midst of the celebration, all the Inter Miami players together kept the immortal moment in the image of the whole team, but the ones not present were Messi and Jordi Alba himself stood up to see where his friend was and “Where is Leo?” asked. The Spaniard took action to wait for Messi and when he arrived, everyone started chanting "Messi, Messi, Messi".

It is another anecdote of a night that will live on in the history of this club founded on January 29, 2018. Messi still shined as usual with a spectacular goal to open the scoring in the match against Nashville SC, the opponent was really uncomfortable and only yielded after 11 penalties.

At the end of the 2023 Leagues Cup, Messi won the top scorer with 10 goals in 7 matches, and received the title of Best Player of the tournament. Especially, he found the net before all 7 opponents including Cruz Azul, Atlanta City, Orlando City, Dallas FC, Philadelphia, Charlotte FC and Nashville SC.
