Reuters: Lionel Messi has won just about everything there is to win in soccer but said ysterday that bringing Inter Miami their first ever trophy would be “incredible” and “a beautiful thing”.
Languishing at the bottom of Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference standings there had been nothing pretty about Inter Miami’s season until Messi’s arrival in South Florida last month.But now things could not look any brighter.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has been a terror from his first game scoring nine goals in six matches powering Miami into the Leagues Cup final on Saturday where they will face Nashville SC.
“Well it would be incredible wouldn’t it? Both for me and for everyone who supports the club,” Messi told reporters through a translator. “For everyone who’s brought the big changes to this club and has been helping it grow and make the team a global reference point, winning a title would really help with that.”It would be really impressive.
“Coming off the bad results we’d had (winless in their last 10 league matches) and seeing where we sat in the league, we knew that we had a nice opportunity to change things.”
