Before they suffered a terrible loss to the Buffalo Bills, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins">Miami Dolphins</a> were enjoying a fantastic start to the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season thanks to their offense. Unsurprisingly, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tyreek-hill">Tyreek Hill</a> was unstoppable in the first weeks.



The former Kansas City Chiefs superstar continues to be a threat for the rest of the league, and now he seems to have found special chemistry with Fins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.



Cheetah played a pivotal role in Miami’s three victories in the first three weeks, receiving for four touchdowns – tied with Stefon Diggs as the league-best. However, a rookie wideout has surpassed him in receiving yards.



<h2>Puka Nacua has more receiving yards than Tyreek Hill after four weeks</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams">Los Angeles Rams</a> rookie wide receiver <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/puka-nacua">Puka Nacua</a> racked up 501 receiving yards after four weeks, which is higher than Hill’s 470 yards for Miami. Only Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson has recorded a better number than the 22-year-old (543 yards).



Nacua, however, did it in 39 receptions, whereas Hill received the football on 28 occasions. Besides, the Dolphins star averages more yards per reception (16.8) than the Rams wideout (12.8). Additionally, Hill has four touchdowns, while Nacua boasts just one. Either way, what the BYU product has been doing is remarkable.

Puka Nacua was selected by the Los Angeles Rams with the 177th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

When the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Denver Broncos</a> traded for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a>, they felt like they finally found their guy to get back to glory days. In fact, they immediately gave the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> champion a massive contract extension.



But things didn’t go to plan in his first year. Far from giving up on him, the Broncos went after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton">Sean Payton</a> to try and get the best out of the 34-year-old quarterback in the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season.



Denver once again left much to be desired in the first weeks, but Wilson did well despite the team’s shortcomings. In fact, the veteran signal-caller boasts better stats than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow">Joe Burrow</a> and other stars after four weeks.



<h2>Russell Wilson’s fantastic numbers in the 2023 NFL season</h2>



With 1,014 passing yards, nine touchdowns and just two interceptions, it’s safe to say Russell Wilson is not the reason the Broncos have struggled so far. As StatMuse notes, the former Seahawks star is doing better than other high-profile names in the league.



<h4>Wilson has more passing touchdowns than</h4>



<ul><li>Patrick Mahomes</li><li>Joe Burrow</li><li>Justin Herbert</li></ul>

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a> gave a lot to talk about in the offseason as his future looked up in the air. But that’s part of the past now, as he entered the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season fully committed to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a>.



The former MVP started the new year on the right foot, finding ways to create danger both on air and on the ground. However, his rushing stats are unsurprisingly better than his passing numbers.



Jackson, one of the best dual-threat gunslingers in the league, is the quarterback with the most rushing yards in 2023 (220). But he’s tied in rushing touchdowns with a rookie signal-caller.



<h2>Anthony Richardson has same rushing TDs as Lamar Jackson</h2>



Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-richardson">Anthony Richardson</a> has already run for four touchdowns, just like Jackson. The difference is that the 2023 first-rounder did it in three games, while the Ravens star played in all four weeks so far.



While it took Richardson 23 attempts to rack up this number, Jackson get to do so in 41 snaps. Needless to say, the Colts seem to have found their guy after so many years of misery.

But now the club is nowhere near that place, as it’s struggling to at least get decent results in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/premier-league">Premier League</a>.



The Blues are still adjusting to the huge change that meant Todd Boehly’s arrival after decades of Roman Abramovic’s reign. The problem is that they spent a lot recently without getting anything in return.



Unlike other clubs, Chelsea didn’t hesitate to break the bank in the last transfer windows, but none of their moves paid off so far. In fact, one of their signings from last year has already lost value at the club.



<h2>Marc Cucurella’s worth drops €20m in first year at Chelsea</h2>



Even though he’s been at Chelsea for little over a year, Marc Cucurella‘s market value has already decreased by €20 million during his time at Stamford Bridge. 



According to Transfermarkt, the Spanish left-back was worth €55m in September 2022, shortly after he moved to London from Brighton. In the latest update (June 2023), Cucurella was valued at €35 million.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/xavi-hernandez">Xavi Hernandez</a> returned to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> when they needed him the most. Not only the club was going through a financial crisis, but it had also lost its identity on the field. With the Spaniard at the helm, the Catalans recovered their soul.



The former midfielder took the team back to glory days, leading it to its first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/la-liga">LaLiga</a> title in three years last season. Now, he aims to make Barca relevant in Europe again.



Many things have passed since Xavi took over, but some memories last longer than others. In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, the 43-year-old made interesting revelations, such as who’s the toughest player he’s faced as Barcelona coach.



<h2>Xavi names Rashford as toughest opponent as Barca coach</h2>



“[Marcus] Rashford cost us a lot,” Xavi said about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united">Manchester United</a> star, who stole the show when the Cules met the Red Devils in the 2022-23 UEFA Europa League knockout stages.



The Barcelona manager also mentioned Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema, who made things hard for the Blaugrana with the Real Madrid uniform. Besides, Xavi named the 0-3 defeat to Bayern Munich in last season’s UEFA Champions League group stage as his toughest defeat at the helm of the club.

After recruiting Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, it looks like the Argentine star wants the South Florida team to land a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> star.



Luka Modric has dropped in the pecking order this season, which is why his future in Spain looks up in the air. The Croatia international isn’t getting any younger, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, a change of scenery could be on the cards.



According to former Real Madrid player Pedja Mijatovic, the 38-year-old has already drawn interest from Major League Soccer teams, especially from the Herons, and Messi would like to play next to him.



<h2>Lionel Messi reportedly wants to play with Luka Modric in Miami</h2>



“He [Modric] has received offers from the United States, from many teams and from this one in particular,” Mijatovic told Cadena SER, via the Daily Mail. “He [Modric] already had the one in Saudi Arabia but he wanted to stay in Madrid. Messi himself has personally been interested in the possibility. In Croatia, a few days ago, Modric met Beckham, where they were eating.”



Modric lost his spot in Los Blancos’ starting eleven this season, with Carlo Ancelotti giving priority to Aurelien Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde and Toni Kroos in the middle of the park.

With the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season in full swing, many start to look back at the offseason moves and wonder whether certain players made the right decision. For instance, if JuJu Smith-Schuster did right in joining the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a>.



The 26-year-old came from a great campaign with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, helping <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> win another Super Bowl ring with the team. Now, he’s struggling to get things going in Foxborough.



The Chiefs continue to be the dominant team they were in 2022, while the Patriots have struggled at the beginning of the year. JuJu’s stats are also worse, but he doesn’t look worried about it.



<h2>JuJu Smith-Schuster says he loves new role with Patriots</h2>



“I’ve played in this league for so long that you kind of learn how to adapt and do things that the team is needing,” Smith-Schuster said, via PatriotsWire. “I feel like me being here, I love my role. I embrace it. It’s fun. I do a lot of dirty work, which is nice, too.”



Smith-Schuster racked up only 10 catches for 66 yards after three weeks this season, with only one reception for five yards last time out agains the New York Jets.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230929#BUS#69850"></div>


Last year, the USC product recorded 78 catches for 933 yards and three touchdowns with Mahomes and company. It’s still to soon to tell, but right now, he’s not on pace to repeat those numbers.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-love">Jordan Love</a> had to wait for three years, but he finally got his opportunity to lead the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a>‘ offense. With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> leaving for the New York Jets this offseason, the 24-year-old is finally proving his worth at Lambeau Field.



Even though he’s just getting started and it’s still too soon to tell whether he’ll be the long-term successor to Rodgers, the Utah State product has already been showing what he’s capable of in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a>.



Love has been putting up decent numbers in his first weeks as starter, finding ways to make plays and get points. As a matter of fact, he’s among the quarterbacks who’ve thrown for more touchdowns so far.



<h2>Only Kirk Cousins has more passing touchdowns than Jordan Love in 2023</h2>



Jordan Love has so far thrown eight passing touchdowns, more than most of the quarterbacks in the league. Only Minnesota Vikings star Kirk Cousins is above him, with nine.



Tua Tagovailoa, who got off to a fantastic start with the Miami Dolphins, has recorded the same number of touchdowns than Love, though he has yet to play against the Buffalo Bills in Week 4.



What the Packers signal-caller has been doing is still impressive, as he threw for more touchdowns than the likes of Patrick Mahomes (7), Justin Herbert (6), and Josh Allen (5) so far.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230929#BUS#70293"></div>

Dan Campbell has slowly turned this franchise around, and this could be the year it finally takes a step forward. The NFC North is up for grabs, and the Lions want to take control of the division.



There’s still a long way to go, but Goff and company passed a huge test at Lambeau Field. Following their 34-20 victory, the 28-year-old quarterback let everyone know how much he believes in his team.



<h2>Jared Goff believes Lions can beat any team in the NFL</h2>



“Send us anywhere and we’ll be ready,” Goff said, via CBS Sports. “We have that confidence. Like I said, send us anywhere. Line us up against anyone, and we feel like we can go in there and beat them, and that’s a good feeling to have. Is it always gonna happen? I don’t know, but we feel like we can. We have that confidence in ourselves, in our coaches and each other. We’re working together really well right now.”



The Lions started the 2023 NFL season on the right foot, taking down Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs on the road in the season opener. Now, head into Week 5 atop the NFC North with a 3-1 record.

All eyes have been on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> since the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season arrived, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> star has so far lived up to the expectations. Even in the loss to the Lions in the season opener, the two-time MVP did just fine.



With Tom Brady retiring for good this year, Mahomes is widely seen as the league’s face after leading Kansas City to two Super Bowl rings at just 27. Only three weeks into the season, he’s proving his fans right.



The Texas Tech product constantly finds ways to make plays, even if he doesn’t get much help from his teammates. However, he’s not among the most accurate quarterbacks in 2023.



<h2>Patrick Mahomes has completed less passes than 15 QBs in 2023</h2>



Having completed 74 of his 113 passing attempts, Patrick Mahomes has a 65.5 completion percentage after three weeks. There are 15 signal-callers who did better than that so far:

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> is without any doubt the most famous player <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/portugal">Portugal</a> has ever produced. The 38-year-old managed to win five Ballon d’Or awards in the same era as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>, which speaks volumes about his legacy.



He was only a teenager when Sir Alex Ferguson decided to bring him in from Sporting CP to Manchester United, before the striker caught Real Madrid’s eye. Now, Ronaldo is spending his sunset years in Saudi Arabia.



In the meantime, he made history with his country, scoring in five consecutive World Cups and helping Portugal win their first ever title at the Euro 2016. But the years have passed and his market value is no longer that high.



<h2>Transfermarkt: Cristiano Ronaldo less valuable than 19 Portuguese players</h2>



Cristiano Ronaldo’s market value on Transfermarkt is €15 million. There are 19 Portuguese players worth more than him: Rafael Leao, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Cancelo, Diogo Jota, Joao Felix, Goncalo Ramos, Diogo Costa, Antonio Silva, Vitinha, Ruben Neves, Joao Palhinha, Diogo Dalot, Otavio, Goncalo Inacio, Pedro Neto, Ricardo Horta, and Jose Sa.



<ol><li>Rafael Leao – €90m</li><li>Bernardo Silva – €80m</li><li>Ruben Dias – €80m</li><li>Bruno Fernandes – €75m</li><li>Joao Cancelo – €50m</li><li>Diogo Jota – €50m</li><li>Joao Felix – €50m</li><li>Goncalo Ramos – €50m</li><li>Diogo Costa – €45m</li><li>Antonio Silva – €45m</li><li>Vitinha – €42m</li><li>Ruben Neves – €40m</li><li> Joao Palhinha – €40m</li><li> Diogo Dalot – €40m</li><li>Otavio – €35m</li><li>Goncalo Inacio – €30m</li><li>, Pedro Neto – €28m</li><li> Ricardo Horta – €20m</li><li> Jose Sa – €18m</li><li>Cristiano Ronaldo – €15m</li></ol>



Age is always a crucial factor in a player’s market value. Ronaldo isn’t getting any younger, so it’s not a surprise to see younger teammates above him on this list. Even so, it’s safe to say most of them aren’t even close to the striker in his prime.

Not only did the rest of the world start to pay more attention to the tournament, but Leo’s presence also helped to attract other stars.



Shortly after they landed the 7x Ballon d’Or winner, the Herons pulled off the signatures of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, which has been another boost to the league.



In just a few months, Messi made a huge impact in the US both on and off the field. Apart from turning the South Florida team around, the Argentine star already leads the league in top-selling jerseys.

According to MLS, Messi’s jersey was the best-selling shirt on MLSstore.com from January 1 through September 12, 2023. Besides Busquets, the other Inter Miami player on the top 25 is Josef Martinez.

When it looked like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Damian Lillard</a> was preparing to join the Miami Heat, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/milwaukee-bucks">Milwaukee Bucks</a> stepped in and struck a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers to pair <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/giannis-antetokounmpo">Giannis Antetokounmpo</a> with the veteran guard.



Dame had made it clear his desire was to play in South Florida, where he saw a legitimate chance to succeed next to Jimmy Butler and company. However, it turns out that Portland found him another place where he can win.



The deal involved the Phoenix Suns and it cost the Bucks a number of assets, including Jrue Holiday. Therefore, the Greak Freek admitted this deal is kind of bittersweet despite it’s good for his team.



<h2>Giannis sad to see Holiday leave, but happy to have Lillard</h2>



“I’m excited to have Dame,” Giannis told Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report. “He gives us a chance to win a championship. I’m excited to play with the caliber of player that he is. He can score the ball in his sleep and shoot the lights out.”



Lillard’s arrival puts the Bucks in a position to succeed again, which is exactly what Giannis wants, as he said this offseason. However, losing a great teammate such as Holiday is still tough for him.



“It’s a bittersweet day for the city of Milwaukee,” Giannis added. “You get Dame, who is a great player, but you lose a great guy. Jrue took us to the promised land. I’m 10 years in now. I know it’s a business. At the end of the day, Jrue will alway be be my brother for life. He’s one of the best human beings I’ve been around. But we’ve got to focus on the goal to win the championship. Dame wants this. He’s hungry to win, and he’s going to push us. I’m very happy to have him on our team.”



No one saw this coming, but it completely makes sense. The Bucks get to give Giannis what he wants, which is help to win more championships, and Lillard finally belongs to a team that can seriously contend.

The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here. The 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season is well underway, and fans are getting to see <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jalen-hurts">Jalen Hurts</a> again after his fantastic campaign with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> last year.



The fourth-year quarterback made an impression in 2022 by leading his team all the way to the Super Bowl, where only three points separated them from the ultimate glory.



Hurts’ performance still left a lot to talk about, which is why all eyes are on him now. The 25-year-old is already showing his talent both on air and on the ground, but a rookie quarterback seems to be keeping up with Hurts’ great level.



<h2>Rookie QB Anthony Richardson tied with Jalen Hurts on rushing TDs in 2023</h2>



Three weeks into the 2023 NFL season, Jalen Hurts boasts three rushing touchdowns, just like Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-richardson">Anthony Richardson</a>, who got off to a great start.



But when comparing their stats this year, one finds more interesting facts about the Florida product. Hurts recorded this number of touchdowns, as well as 100 yards, in 31 rushing attempts.



Richardson, on the other hand, only needed 13 attempts to run for just 15 less yards than Hurts. Besides, he did all of this in just two games, as he remained in concussion protocol during Week 3.

NFL: Rookie QB already has the same rushing touchdowns as Jalen Hurts in 2023

Before the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season, anyone would have named <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-allen">Josh Allen</a> as potential MVP contenders. After only three weeks of play, this continues to be a possibility.



The Kansas City Chiefs superstar has been proving his talent as a dual-threat gunslinger, finding ways to create danger even without too much help from his teammates. Well, there’s a reason he has two rings at 27.



Allen, on the other hand, turned up his level after a terrible performance in Week 1. Even though he did fine recently, it’s safe to say the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo Bills</a> quarterback can do more, especially on the ground.



<h2>Josh Allen ran for less yards than six QBs in 2023</h2>



Josh Allen only ran for 89 yards in three weeks. That’s way lower than the 193 rushing yards Lamar Jackson has produced so far, but many other quarterbacks also managed to do better than the Bills star.



<h4>QBs with more rushing yards</h4>



<ol><li>Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) – 193</li><li>Justin Fields (Chicago Bears) – 109</li><li>Daniel Jones (New York Giants) – 107</li><li>Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) – 103</li><li>Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) – 100</li><li>Joshua Dobbs (Arizona Cardinals) – 93</li><li>Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) – 89</li></ol>

Signing for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> is widely seen as the biggest step any soccer player can take in his career. Los Blancos have forged a reputation for being the most successful club in Europe, with 14 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">UEFA Champions League</a> titles to their name.



Therefore, it isn’t strange to see them attract world-renowned players every year. Besides, their academy – commonly known as ‘La Fabrica’ – is also famous for producing some of the most promising players on Earth.



The club’s scouting area makes sure to track youngsters with the potential to succeed, hoping to find the next generational talent. But one of their prospects had to leave Spain in order to blossom into a world-class player.



<h2>Martin Odegaard’s worth increases $53m after leaving Real Madrid</h2>



Martin Odegaard‘s market value on Transfermarkt increased €50 million ($53m) since he left Real Madrid for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arsenal">Arsenal</a>. The Norwegian was worth €40m ($42m) when he left the Spanish side for the Gunners in January 2021, but after more than two years in north London, his market value is €90 million ($95m).

The midfielder joined Real Madrid’s B team from Stromsgodset as a 16-year-old teenager in 2015. He eventually got promoted to the senior squad, but was loaned on multiple occasions before he settled in at the Emirates Stadium.



Odegaard, 24, initially joined Arsenal on a short-term loan before the English club made the move permanent in August 2021 for a reported €35m ($37m). From then on, his market value took off.

The 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> season is underway, and even though it’s still too soon to jump to any conclusion, many players are already under the microscope. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow">Joe Burrow</a>, for instance, is once again drawing a lot of attention.



It makes sense, since not only we’re talking about one of the greatest quarterbacks in the league, but also the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/joe-burrows-salary-at-bengals-how-much-does-he-make-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20230908-BUS-59987.html">highest-paid player</a> in NFL history. This offseason, Joey Franchise signed a lucrative extension with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Cincinnati Bengals</a>.



However, it hasn’t been an easy start to the season for the 2020 first overall pick. Apart from the weather, an injury has been holding him back from performing at his best. In fact, 21 quarterbacks boast more passing touchdowns than Burrow this year.



<h2>Joe Burrow has less passing TDs than 21 QBs in 2023</h2>



Joe Burrow managed to throw for only two touchdowns in three weeks. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirk-cousins">Kirk Cousins</a> leads the list with nine passing touchdowns, with 20 players between him and the Bengals star, who has been playing through calf injury.



<h4>QBs with most passing touchdowns in 2023</h4>



<ol><li>Kirk Cousins (Minnesota Vikings) – 9</li><li>Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins) – 8</li><li>Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) – 7</li><li>Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers) – 7</li><li>Russell Wilson (Denver Broncos) – 6</li><li>Justin Herbert (LA Chargers) – 6 </li><li>Jimmy Garoppolo (Las Vegas Raiders) – 5</li><li>Jared Goff (Detroit Lions) – 5 </li><li>Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) – 5 </li><li>Mac Jones (New England Patriots) – 5 </li><li>Geno Smith (Seattle Seahawks) – 4</li><li>Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) – 4 </li><li>Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns) – 4 </li><li>Kenny Pickett (Pittsburgh Steelers) – 4</li><li>Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers) – 4 </li><li>C.J.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> couldn’t recover on time for the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-open-cup">US Open Cup</a> final, and his absence proved costly for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>. Houston Dynamo put on a show at the DRV PNK Stadium to lift the trophy for the second time.



The Argentine star has been struggling with muscle fatigue since the September break. After asking to be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-explains-why-he-was-substituted-in-argentinas-win-over-ecuador-20230908-BUS-59618.html">subbed off</a> in La Albiceleste’s win over Ecuador, Messi only saw 36 minutes of action against Toronto FC until he had to leave the field.



Leo even missed the derby against Orlando City hoping to show up in the final, but he still needs more time to recover. With this loss, his side not only missed out on its first ever domestic cup title, but also on a monetary reward.



<h2>The monetary prize Messi’s Inter Miami failed to secure</h2>



With their loss to Houston, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami missed out on $300,000, which is the purse for the US Open Cup champions. Other competitions offer much bigger prizes, but it would have been a nice compensation regardless.



This time, it was the Dynamo who took home the check. Next year, Gerardo Martino’s men will have another opportunity to go after the trophy. But first, they’ll try and push for a place in the 2023 MLS Playoffs. 



<h2>When is Inter Miami’s next game?</h2>



Inter Miami return to action on Saturday, September 30, when they welcome New York City FC to DRV PNK Stadium at 7:30 PM (ET). Messi remains questionable for this clash.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230928#BUS#69389"></div>


<h2>How many goals has Messi scored for Inter Miami?</h2>



Lionel Messi has so far scored 11 goals in 12 appearances for Inter Miami.

After missing the derby against Orlando City, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> couldn’t recover on time for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-open-cup">2023 US Open Cup</a> final so he had to watch from the sidelines how <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-dynamo">Houston Dynamo</a> outplayed his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>.



Drake Callender did everything he could to keep a clean sheet but it took only 24 minutes for the visitors to take the lead thanks to Griffin Dorsey. Nine minutes later, Amine Bassi extended Houston’s lead from the penalty spot.



Just like Dallas FC or Atlanta United did in the past, the social media team of the away side made sure to take a subtle jab at Messi’s side as Dynamo were paving the way towards the title.



<h2>Houston Dynamo troll Messi, Inter Miami on social media</h2>



“Messi? Nah, we got Bassi,” wrote the club on X (Twitter). There was still a lot left to play for in the game, but with Messi on the sidelines, the Houston Dynamo admin didn’t seem to be worried.

Some users replied pointing out the fact that they were poking fun at a player who wasn’t even on the field, but others understood it was just a joke.



Either way, it was a night to remember for the Houston Dyanmo, who secured the trophy for the second time, with minority owner James Harden cheering on them at the stadium. The Herons, on the other hand, really missed Messi’s magic.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>‘s presence has been a game-changer not only for Major League Soccer, but especially for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>. Therefore, many fans were disappointed to find out that Leo won’t suit up in the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-open-cup">US Open Cup</a> final against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-dynamo">Houston Dynamo</a>.



The 36-year-old has been struggling with muscle fatigue since he came back from the September international break with Argentina. Though he got to see the field against Toronto FC, it only <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-surprisingly-subbed-off-at-inter-miami-after-36-minutes-20230921-BUS-65883.html">took 36 minutes</a> for Messi to ask for the substitution.



He missed the Herons’ following game against Orlando City hoping to recover on time for the domestic cup decider, but it wasn’t possible. Unsurprisingly, ticket prices for this clash have plummeted since the news broke. 



<h2>Ticket prices for Inter Miami-Houston Dynamo drop as Messi is not playing</h2>



Messi has made a significant impact in US soccer not only on the field, but also off it. Ticket prices for Inter Miami games have gone through the roof since he joined the club, and the US Open Cup final was no exception.



Only a few days ago, when Messi was still expected to play, the cheapest seat for the final cost $220. When people found out Messi wouldn’t play, tickets became available for less than $70.

Something similar happened a few weeks ago, when fans found out Messi wasn’t traveling with Inter Miami for the road game against Atlanta United. At the end of the day, it’s clear that many people are only interested in watching Messi in action.
