The Florida club highlighted the Argentine’s 45 titles
Leo Messi He was honored before the match against the Chicago Fire, which Inter Miami finally won 2-1. Jorge Mas, director and co-owner of the MLS club, stood next to the Argentine in the centre circle on a special mat, with the text ‘Lionel Messi 45 titles’. The scoreboard showed videos of Messi’s legendary career and Argentina’s path to the 2024 Copa America title.
“Tonight we celebrate something we’ve never seen before and we may never see again,” Mas said. “Our Lionel Messi has won the most trophies in the history of this sport. I’m sure he won’t stop at 45. We hope he can win many more in the future.”
The orthopedic device around Messi’s right foot caught the eye. It was in the Copa America final against Colombia when Messi twisted his ankle and was injured. He had to leave the field and could not hold back his tears for missing such an important match.
