- Watch Messi's goal vs. Philadelphia Union �AMAZING KICK!
- Nashville down Monterrey and will face Inter Miami in Leagues Cup Final
Lionel Messi once again etched his name into history last night as he propelled Inter Miami to their first final in the young history of a team that was founded in 2018.
The forthcoming showdown against Nashville SC, is set for Saturday.
Continuing his impressive streak in the United States, Messi's goal against Philadelphia in his team's 4-1 win on Tuesday adds to his tally which stands at nine goals across six games for Inter Miami, effectively securing his team's qualification for CONCACAF Champions Cup. Triumphs upon triumphs follow.
The hunt for the most trophies
Yet, Messi's pursuit of excellence knows no bounds, as he persists in reaching new milestones. The upcoming Saturday, he could become the footballer with the most titles in history, tied with Dani Alves.
With a total of 43 trophies under his belt from both club and national team successes, the Argentina captain stands one short of the Brazilian's 44 titles.
The official recognition of Dani Alves' 2002 Copa do Nordeste victory is disputed by some sources, a title that is pivotal in this comparison.
Although this title is considered official by MARCA and is among the country's significant regional tournaments, it has transformed its role from providing international tournament entry to granting access to the Copa do Brasil.
In the event of an unsuccessful outcome on Saturday, another opportunity awaits Messi in the near future.
Inter Miami are scheduled to compete in the US Open Cup semi-final on August 24, facing FC Cincinnati as the visiting team.
The other semi-final will see Real Salt Lake face Houston Dynamo in a one-off encounter. If Inter Miami emerge victorious, they will proceed to the final away from home.
