Messi’s presence not only promotes Inter Miami to flourish but also helps the team increase its position in major regional arenas.
On August 16, Inter Miami excellently won tickets to the Leagues Cup final after defeating strong opponent Philadephia with a strong score of 4-1. Notably, this will head the first time in the history of this club to reach the final match of an official tournament.
The first must definitely call Messi’s name. Since M10 joined, Inter Miami has won all 6 matches. In particular, the 36-year-old superstar contributed to 9 goals and 1 assist, including 2 free kicks to save the match against Cruz Azul and Dallas.

Also in these 6 matches, there are 5 matches where Inter Miami scored over 3 goals. It can be said that the appearance of Messi has helped the whole team play better. But not stopping at performance, the position of the Florida club is also increasing significantly thanks to M10.
Accordingly, Inter Miami is the most sought-after club not only in the MLS but also in the entire Americas. Specifically, journalist Hugo Balassone of TyC Sports revealed that Inter Miami is about to be given a special chance to attend one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet.
It is the Copa Libertadores, the tournament considered the C1 Cup of the South American region. Accordingly, Inter Miami will have the opportunity to participate in this arena next season through the invitation of Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Federation, and at the request of CONMEBOL (South American Football Confederation).

Notably, Copa Libertadores is of South American football and has only ever invited Mexican teams to attend. The BTC’s willingness to invite a North American team that is ranked last in the MLS to play the tournament shows how favored Inter Miami is.
Of course, this favor is also thanks to Messi. Not only through his relationship with the president of the Argentine Football Federation but also the benefits he can bring to the Copa Libertadores.
As soon as Messi appears, tickets to the matches will immediately sell out, and the revenue from television and advertising rights will also increase sharply. Therefore, CONMEBOL has no reason to hesitate to invite Messi’s Inter Miami to participate in the Copa Libertadores.
