Lionel Messi will be back in action and will be on a mission to win his first title with Inter Miami in the USA as his new club takes on Philadelphia in the Leagues Cup 2023 final at the Subaru Park Stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania on Tuesday night.
Lionel Messi has been in a flawless run since stepping down in the USA as the Argentine World Cup winner has scored eight goals in five games since moving in hot from French club PSG.
One of those goals came in the 4-0 rout of fellow American club Charlotte in front of home fans at the DRV PNK Stadium in Florida. Inter Miami's fortunes have taken a turn for good since Messi's arrival as the five-year-old club is inching closer to their maiden silverware at the inaugural Leagues Cup 2023, which hosts top-tier clubs from the USA and Mexico.
Prior to Lionel Messi joining in, Inter Miami were dead last in the Easter Conference group of the Major Soccer League, which has been on a break for the ongoing cup tournament.
The break coincided with Lionel Messi's arrival as the club has won all five games ever since, all in the Leagues Cup 2023. His former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba have also joined the club in the multi-million move and have been pivotal presence in the midfield and defense respectively.
The forms and performances of other Inter Miami teammates have improved by several notches since the trio's arrival as the likes of Robert Taylor, Josef Martinez and Benjamin Cremasci have matched their new colleagues.
Philadelphia, on the other hand, defeated Mexican club Queretaro 2-1 in the quarterfinals after beating New York Red Bulls in the round of 16 on penalties. In the MLS, they are third in the Eastern Conference with 40 points in 23 games while Inter Miami have just 18.
