“In just 5 weeks, Messi changed Inter Miami’s life”

Club co-owner David Beckham affirmed that Inter Miami has improved constantly, even almost turning a new page in history with the Leagues Cup championship thanks to the great work of Lionel Messi.

On the evening of August 19, Inter Miami played the final against Nashville. Messi continued to shine, scoring a masterpiece to cut the left foot to open the score. Despite being tied 1-1 in 90 minutes, he and his teammates still won 10-9 in the penalty shootout to win the 2023 Leagues Cup.

Beckham admitted he felt nervous when watching the 11m kick series – which lasted 11 turns, forcing the two goalkeepers to directly perform. “It’s not easy watching a game end like that,” the former England player said in the tunnel at Geodis Park. “Nashville fights hard, but this is Inter Miami’s night.”

People say it like programmed, and that’s the biggest tribute to these players. You watch them play and you get emotional. Everything about their style of play is stunning.”

Inter Miami was founded in 2018. Two years later, they joined the MLS, finishing in 19th, 20th and sixth place respectively for three seasons. Currently, Beckham’s team is at the bottom of the table after 22 matches in the 2023 season, including five wins, three draws and 14 losses. Before signing with Messi, Inter Miami went 11 matches without winning.

But with the presence of the Argentine superstar, the team won all seven matches on the way to winning the Leagues Cup. Messi personally contributed 10 goals. “A lot can happen in five weeks,” admitted Beckham. “Inter Miami is life changing, with so many new things. We will enjoy this win and look to the future and continue to grow. We have the best players in the world and a lot of academy players. potential and that’s very important. This is an emotional moment and a long journey for me.”

At the award ceremony, he also called Yedlin to bring the Cup together to where his teammates were waiting.

Yedlin said he was surprised by Messi’s actions, and affirmed that it was the senior who helped Inter Miami improve their mentality to always enter the match with a winning mentality. “I can’t say that’s been the goal of the team every single game before,” he said. “This is Messi’s seventh game with Inter Miami. It’s unbelievable that I can lift the title with Messi, and that says it all about his character.”
