Lionel Messi is 36 years old. Most football players at this age either retire or start playing for unknown clubs without much success. But it’s not for nothing that Messi is considered a football legend and one of the best players of our time.
Therefore, despite the fact that he moved to play in an American club (in the USA there is a weak football school), his career did not decline, but continued to develop organically. Messi fit perfectly into the Inter Miami squad and always showed stable and impressive play.
He already has 10 goals for the club this season. And largely thanks to his play, Inter Miami performed well in the American Cup League. So much so that during a tense struggle with Nashville, the club was able to win and receive the coveted trophy.
For Messi, this title was the 44th award in his career. And this is an absolute world record. No one has ever managed to win so many awards in football. The previous record was set by Dani Alves, having earned 43 titles in his career.
Let us remind you that the owner of the Inter Miami club is another famous football player — David Beckham. He founded the club in 2018, but even before its creation he knew that Messi would play in it. This idea came to him over a glass of wine.
David Beckham and Messi are friends. There is a small age difference between them, many common interests, so they are often seen in the same company. So recently they got into the media while resting after another victory for the club: Messi’s security attacked a man because they decided that he wanted to take pictures of the stars.
