Before the match against Chicago Fire kicked off, Inter Miami took the opportunity to pay tribute to Leo Messi, who won the Copa America, the 45th title of his career.
Leo Messi is living football history. In the final years of his career – only he knows when he has decided to hang up his boots – the Argentine added a new title to his already extensive list of honours, this year’s Copa America.
The ‘Albiceleste’ captain became the player with the most titles in history with 45, which served as an excuse for Inter Miami, his current club, to pay tribute to him in the first match after his return.
Despite being injured – which is why he was unable to play against Chicago Fire – Messi came down to the pitch to receive a standing ovation from his fans and a picture of the 45 titles he has won.
Before the match, which ended in victory for the Florida side, Messi received the tribute from his fans and Jorge Mas, one of the owners of Inter Miami.
