Messi continued to be the main character for Inter Miami in the 2023 Leagues Cup final against Nashville. The Argentine superstar scored a beautiful goal to open the scoring. That contributed to Inter Miami drawing Nashville 1-1 in regular time, before winning on penalties.
This was an impressive tournament for Messi. He scored in all 7 matches of Inter Miami, with a total of 10 goals. Thanks to that, El Pulga won two titles: Top Scorer and Best Player of the Leagues Cup.
In addition, the superstar number 10 also set a series of records. With 10 goals, he became the Inter Miami player who scored the most goals in a specific tournament. Notably, Inter Miami is the team that Messi needed the fewest matches to reach the 10-goal mark.
Not stopping there, Messi has broken his own record in the number of finals he has participated in. Specifically, in the past, El Pulga scored 35 goals and 15 assists after 48 finals he participated in. In total, this striker has had a hand in 50 goals in the finals.
In comparison, no player has played a better final than Messi. Messi's great rival C. Ronaldo has only 22 goals and 2 assists after 36 appearances in the finals in his career.
Messi is also the player with the most titles in football history. The 2023 Leagues Cup championship with Inter Miami is the 44th time this player has lifted the title after nearly 20 years of fighting in his career.
After the match, his Inter Miami teammates threw Messi into the air to thank him for his great contributions. Before El Pulga appeared, Inter Miami was in crisis but now, they have won the first title in their young history.
