Inter Miami continues to flourish since recruiting Messi. In the quarter-final match of the 2023 Leagues Cup taking place this morning, this team won 4-0 against Charlotte. As usual, Messi continued to shine when contributing a goal.
It was El Pulga’s eighth goal in five games for Inter Miami. Notably, after scoring, the No. 10 superstar celebrated in the style of “Spider-Man”. Before that, Messi used to perform a celebration to simulate Thunder God Thor and Black Panther, Marvel’s superheroes. That shows that Messi knows how to please American fans.
Back to the match, Inter Miami put tremendous pressure on rival Charlotte right after the opening whistle. Right in the 12th minute, Inter Miami opened the scoring by Josef Martinez. Messi should have taken this shot, but he decided to give it to his teammate.
In the 32nd minute, Robert Taylor gave Inter Miami a 2-0 lead. In the second half, Charlotte put all her strength into looking for a goal. However, they could not make it difficult for Inter Miami.
In the 78th minute, Messi’s team had the 3rd goal after Malanda’s own goal. Not stopping there, until the 85th minute, the Argentine superstar himself scored after a close-range ball, setting a 4-0 victory for Inter Miami.
