Lionel Messi played a role in Inter Miami’s triumph over Nashville, which earned the team its first League Cup trophy.The Rosario native, who was also named the tournament’s top scorer and player, celebrated alongside Antonela Roccuzzo and her three boys, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro.
The match, which took place this Saturday at the Geodis Park stadium, was a back-and-forth affair that ended 1-1.Messi scored 23 minutes into the first half with a spectacular left-footed drive that struck the upper right corner goalkeeper Elliot Panicco.
With this new championship, Messi surpassed Brazilian Dani Alves as the most decorated player in history, with 44 titles. He accomplished this just over a month after arriving in the United States.He led the competition in scoring with ten goals in seven games, and he scored in all of them.
After the game, Antonela and her children joined the celebrations on the field, where La Pulga also snapped photos with her colleagues’ families.

Lionel Messi’s great gesture in Inter Miami’s League Cup victory
At the awards ceremony, Lionel Messi performed a great gesture: he passed over the captain’s ribbon to DeAndre Yedlin, who had been in charge of that role before to his arrival, and together they raised the cup amid team jubilation.
Thus, wearing the band on his left arm, the American went on to the podium with Messi and both raised the trophy, in a tiny act that accentuates the Rosario’s role in Tata Martino’s team.
