Leo Messi Inter Miami Wins Leagues Cup: Full Game Highlights
Inter Miami defeats Nashville SC, 1-1 (10-9 on penalties.), in the 2023 Leagues Cup Final. Lionel Messi scored the opening goal in the 23rd minute, marking his 7th-straight match with a goal scored.
We give a lot of credit to Messi which he deserves, but can we give a shout-out to the well deserved goal keeper? Man was he spectacular!
Just a month into his spell at Inter Miami, Lionel Messi is already showing North America what he is capable of.
Last night in Tennesse, the Argentine international starred in the Leagues Cup final, helping Inter Miami secure the first title in the club’s history.
Who is the Most successful player in history?
Following the Leagues Cup triumph, Messi now also has 44 titles to his name between 2003 to 2023. This makes him the most decorated player in the history of football.
Messi scored the opener as Inter Miami beat Nashville on penalties, after drawing 1-1 at full-time. It was a tense game for both sides, but the visitors came out as victors after a nervy shootout.
“I Never Wanted to Play for PSG”; Messi Blasts Mbappe Club
Messi finished the Leagues Cup campaign with ten goals in seven matches, becoming the best performer of the tournament.
That penalty kick by the Miami keeper was like a rocketship taking off… Followed up by a lightning fast save. Messi is just too good by kudos to the GK as well. American soccer has come a long way thanks to David Beckham and the likes. Great to see.
The impact of Lionel Messi on Inter Miami is surreal. He not only scores and assists the
team but also instills a winner’s mentality in a team that was winless for 13 matches
What a way to end the game. Messi showing his individual talents by scoring the only game, while his teammates demonstrating their skills by finishing the game in penalties.

David Beckham, Lionel Messi hug it out as Inter Miami bags first Leagues Cup trophy
Beckham admitted he could hardly believe his team’s improvement since Messi joined
Tell you what, the presence of Messi in the team transformed the players. It brought something in the minds of his team mates that they could possibly win the championship.
This is something not every player can do. Messi on the pitch realises it was not all about him. He was never self fish with the ball and he created chances for others. Messi is a football machine!
Lionel Messi HIGHLIGHTS as Inter Miami advance past Philadelphia Union
Nashville battled it to the end! I’ve only seen a few times where the GK’s have to take the pens. Great game. Nashville should be proud, they’re about to dominate regular season. Keep in mind this new Inter Miami team is levels above what MLS teams were use to playing against, so Nashville are in a great competitive level. Could’ve gone either way.
Beckham, who felt emotional at the victory, acknowledged that he finds it difficult to understand how much Inter Miami has advanced since Lionel Messi joined them just five weeks ago and helped them win the Leagues Cup.
An emotional David Beckham admitted he can hardly believe how much Inter Miami have improved after Lionel Messi arrived just five weeks ago and turned them into Leagues Cup winners.
“I mean, I’m not the biggest fan of penalties,” Beckham told local media in the tunnel of Geodis Park after watching his team lift the trophy.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
