Messi, Inter Miami Stun Philadelphia Union To Reach First-Ever Leagues Cup Final
Written by Patrick Echatah
As he leads Inter Miami CF to their first-ever final appearance, Lionel Messi has had nothing short of a revolutionary effect on the team. Miami and the Philadelphia Union square off in this exciting matchup as they compete for a coveted berth in the Leagues Cup final.
More Details
Inter Miami booked their place in the League cup final following an emphatic 4-1 win over Philadelphia Union courtesy of goals from Lionel Messi, Josef Martinez, Jordi Alba and highly rated youngster David Ruiz. Messi's impact was noticeable during the most recent quarterfinal game against Charlotte FC as he demonstrated his unmatched skill on the pitch.
Miami won convincingly 4-0 in the match, which was played at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, under the lights. Notably, Messi extended his goal-scoring streak, hitting eight goals in as few as five games with the Miami team.
Their performance trajectory has undergone an amazing turnaround since Messi entered the Miami ranks. In stark contrast to their problems during the Major League Soccer regular season, where they won only five out of 22 games, the team's recent winning streak stands at an amazing five games.
A startling statistic that further demonstrates Messi's catalytic influence shows that Inter Miami's 17 goals in the League Cup run eclipses their previous 22 goals in 22 MLS games prior to the arrival of the football maestro.
As the final draws near, fans and enthusiasts alike are filled with expectation and excitement as they wait to see Messi's wizardry lead Inter Miami to unprecedented glory.

Meanwhile…
Taylor Twellman called on MLS to hold its next All-Star game against a team of the top Saudi Arabian league players because he wants to see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo rekindle their old rivalry.
Karim Benzema, Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane, and now Neymar have all followed Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia due to the oil-rich nation’s enticing salary for top athletes.
Twellman thinks there is a chance to take advantage of the attention that MLS is receiving as a result of Messi’s arrival. You know what the next All-Star game I would do? Saudi Arabia All-Stars versus MLS All-Stars, and I would put it in the Rose Bowl.
