The final of the Leagues Cup got over just a few moments ago and it was between Inter Miami and Nashville FC. Nashville FC are the best team in the MLS and Inter Miami are the worst team in the MLS. All that changed after the arrival of Lionel Messi, Sergio Bouquets and Jordi Alba. The final was a great match and in the end Lionel Messi won his 44th trophy as a player for a team and that is the highest of all time.
Let’s look at the Final and why this is such a significant milestone for Messi:

Inter Miami took the lead as Messi scored a brilliant goal in the first half and in his first 7 Matches for Inter Miami he has already scored 10 Goals and the regular MLS season is about to start and there is no limit as to how many goals he will score then. Nashville FC equalized late in the game and it was time for penalties. It was so close that the scoreline read 10-9 in the penalty shootout for Inter Miami as the Goalkeeper saved the last penalty kick and Messi had created history.
