Messi's impact on the field has been swift and powerful, having already netted an impressive 10 goals in just seven appearances for Inter Miami. This remarkable feat has contributed significantly to the team's success and has solidified his status as one of the world's greatest footballers.

The 36-year-old's presence and influence have been tangible not only in terms of his individual performance but also in the team's mindset. He has set the tone for a culture of winning and high expectations within the club. DeAndre Yedlin, who was part of the Leagues Cup victory alongside Messi, emphasized how the team now enters matches with the expectation of victory.

In a recent Instagram post, Messi expressed his happiness at securing Inter Miami's first-ever title and conveyed his belief that this is just the beginning of many successes for the club.
