4-1: Messi scores… and so does Jordi Alba!

Leo Messi scored again by between miami to help them reach the Leagues Cup final after a 4-1 win over Philadelphia Union in Chester, Pennsylvania. The Argentine has nine goals in six games. With his left foot, the seven-time Ballon d’Or matched goalkeeper Andre Blake with a long low shot on the ground, from 25 meters: the farthest goal of his career.

The Floridians, who started the Leagues Cup as the bottom of the Eastern Conference and the worst team in the American D1, have added six consecutive victories since the arrival of their new number 10 and now they will face Nashville or CF Monterrey, resident of the first Mexican division, in this final of an unprecedented competition between the best clubs in North America and Mexico.

With an undeniable force in front of the rival goal (five shots from the visitors to 16 from the locals) and a great performance by their goalkeeper Drake Callender, Inter Miami sealed the match at halftime with 0 -3 losses against the Philadelphia Union during the ‘shock’. Joseph Martinez, Jordi Alba and Honduran-American David Ruíz scored for Miami while Colombian-American Alejandro Bedoya scored for the Philadelphia team.

Kudos to ‘Tata’ Martino

Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, the Inter Miami coach who qualified for the first final in its history on Tuesday, assured that Leo Messi “has a big commitment when it comes to the game”. “He does a lot,” the Argentine coach said in a press conference, arguing that Rosario’s genius not only improves the “construction” of Inter Miami’s game but also strives for “recovery.”

“All this is contagious for all teammates. Then there is another issue related to the fact that the team has changed but it is true that the squad has changed. Now it is more competitive and it creates difficulties for the coach when it comes to making the eleven,” he said.
