Lionel Messi’s goal-scoring ability for Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup final against Nashville is inspiring Academy players in MLS

Lionel Messi‘s extraordinary goal-scoring ability for Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup final against Nashville is not just written in the club’s history; it’s become a source of inspiration for the emerging talents in Inter Miami’s academy, reported by GOAL.

The maestro’s impact in the United States has been nothing short of spectacular, culminating in a memorable tournament debut that secured a historic trophy for the Florida-based team. Messi’s 10-goal contribution throughout the competition, including a crucial goal in the final, marked his 44th career title—a feat that left an indelible mark on American soccer.

Now, Messi’s magical moment serves as a valuable teaching tool in Inter Miami’s academy system. Federico Higuain, a coach at NEXT Pro, emphasized Messi’s versatility, encouraging young players to learn from the Argentine’s ability to create and finish plays. Higuain explained, “I asked the guys, particularly those who play the number 10 position, to look at what he did and realize that in that role you can create plays but you can also finish them.”
