<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> hasn’t stopped since he joined <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong>. The Argentine star came off the bench on Matchday 1 of the <strong>2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/leagues-cup">Leagues Cup</a></strong> and started all the following matches.</p>



<p>His level has been superb so far, having scored <strong>eight goals in just five games</strong> with the Herons. Leo has played a pivotal role in the club’s resurgence, leading it to the Leagues Cup semifinals.</p>



<p>But Leo didn’t have much time to rest so far. Though it doesn’t look like something to worry about, Messi did <strong>seem to be in some discomfort</strong> during Monday’s practice.</p>



<h2>Messi looks in discomfort in Inter Miami practice</h2>



<p>Inter Miami insider Franco Panizo attened the part of practice that opened to the media on Monday morning and noticed Messi felt some discomfort<strong> in his left leg during ball drills</strong> but it didn’t prevent him from completing the activities.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> continue their journey in the <strong>2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/leagues-cup">Leagues Cup</a></strong>. The Herons took care of business against <strong>Charlotte FC</strong>, claiming a 4-0 victory at the DRV PNK Stadium.</p>



<p>Josef Martinez put the hosts in front after 12 minutes from the penalty spot, as Leo let the Venezuela international take the spot-kick. 20 minutes later, Robert Taylor extended their lead.</p>



<p>The visitors later started to take control of the ball, but they couldn’t find a way to get past Drake Callender. An own goal by Adilson Malanda made it 3-0 for Inter Miami, and Messi got on the scoresheet shortly before the final whistle. Once again, <strong>he celebrated like a superhero</strong>.</p>



<h2>Lionel Messi breaks out Spider-Man celebration </h2>



<p>The Argentine superstar had already made references to Marvel characters Thor and Black Panther in previous goal celebrations. This time, Messi pulled off another one: it was <strong>in reference to Spider-Man.</strong></p>

<p>The 7x Ballon d’Or winner is definitely enjoying <strong>a great start to life</strong> in the United States. While he’s having no problem to succeed on the field, the 36-year-old is also <strong>making the most</strong> of having his family right there on the sidelines.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> has done it again. The Argentine superstar found the net for the fifth game in a row at <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong>, sealing the team’s 4-0 win over <strong>Charlotte FC</strong> in the <strong>2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/leagues-cup">Leagues Cup</a></strong> quarterfinals.</p>



<p>Leo <strong>had to wait until the 86th minute</strong> to get on the scoresheet, sending the ball to the empty net after a great assist by Leonardo Campana. Earlier in the game, Messi had the chance to score the first goal of the night but let Josef Martinez take the penalty.</p>



<p>Robert Taylor and an own goal by Adilson Malanda extended the Herons’ advantage, paving the way for their qualification for the semifinals. Now, Messi’s Inter Miami <strong>will take on Philadelphia or Queretaro for a place in the final.</strong></p>

<p>While it’s still too early to say that the partnership between <strong>Apple TV</strong> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Major League Soccer</strong> </a>is a resounding success, early indicators are suggesting things are off to a great start. Before the arrival of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a></strong> to Inter Miami, it was reported that <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=tv_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1000lS8e&amp;ct=BolavipUS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">MLS Season Pass</a> subscribers stood at around 1 million.</p>



<p>Granted half of those subscribers came from season ticket holders and partnerships like T – Mobile that got the service for free. Since the arrival and the success of Lionel Messi in MLS, that number has doubled according to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a> owner Jorge Mas and doubled down by executives at Apple.</p>

<h2>The future of MLS and Apple TV deal</h2>



<p>The biggest winner of the Apple TV deal besides MLS is Lionel Messi, who for his 2-and-a-half-year deal will see a percentage of new subscriptions, the fear that a worldwide audience would have little interest in MLS is being debunked. While <strong>MLS on Apple TV is seeing their best numbers in years when it comes to viewership, in Argentina for example ESPN Argentina is reporting all-time record lows for its ratings</strong>, even with having the rights to Argentine soccer, Champions League, Serie A among other leagues.</p>



<p>Most of the audience is now moving to streaming platforms and while MLS is solely on a streaming platform, the experiment seems to be working. With talks that MLS will be lifting certain roster restrictions and increasing their salary cap, and even talks of adding a 4th DP, the idea is to “spread the wealth” so to speak and have more teams in MLS sign players of worldwide recognition, such as Neymar who is being touted by an MLS side rumored to be NYCFC.</p>



<p>The effort is clear, have big name players playing in more markets to make MLS more than a one man show in Lionel Messi, although it will be a tough task for the league to sign a better player than the Argentine. Strategically attacking huge markets like Brazil, France, and Mexico who in turn can attract Asian and Middle Eastern markets is a smart move in getting more exposure for the league.</p>

<p>Their next rival is <strong>Charlotte FC</strong> and, thanks to great performances by other players like <strong>Sergio Busquets</strong> or <strong>Jordi Alba</strong>, Inter Miami are favorites to win the tournament. </p>

Lionel Messi’s goal celebration teased on FC24 - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Wout Weghorst</strong> made an impact coming off the bench for the <strong>Netherlands</strong> against <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a></strong> at the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/qatar-2022">2022 World Cup</a></strong> quarterfinals, but it wasn’t enough to knock out <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> and company.</p>



<p>To make things worse, the striker was <strong>called out by the 7x Ballon d’Or winner</strong> at the end of the game. <em>“Anda pa’allá, bobo (Keep moving, idiot),”</em> Messi yelled at Weghorst in his post-game interview.</p>



<p>The 31-year-old’s impressive performance was overshadowed by that moment, which continues to be remembered even months later. Now, Weghorst has to <strong>try his luck at a new club.</strong></p>



<h2>Weghorst joins Hoffenheim on loan after brief Man United stint</h2>



<p>Weghorst has been loaned for the third straight transfer window. After six months at Manchester United, Weghorst <strong>will have to leave the Premier League</strong> as Burnley sent him to <strong>Hoffenheim</strong> for the 2023-24 season. </p>



<p>“<em>Dear Manchester United fans</em>,” he said in a farewell message to the Red Devils. “<em>Thanks for everything. I really enjoyed every single second at this club, from winning silverware to scoring my first goal, against Betis at Old Trafford. Dreams came true. <strong>Unbelievably proud to wear the badge. Wish you all the best for the future.</strong> Manchester United fans – thank you for everything.”</em></p>

<p>The veteran striker, who joined the Clarets for £12m in January 2022, had spent time on loan at Besiktas before his Old Trafford move. Now he’ll be far from the Premier League spotlight, but the <strong>Bundesliga was great for him in the past</strong>. In 118 appearances for Wolfsburg, Weghorst recorded an impressive 59 goals.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> is enjoying a perfect start to life in the United States. The Argentine superstar has scored in all his appearances for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> so far, boasting seven goals in just four games in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/leagues-cup">2023 Leagues Cup</a></strong>.</p>



<p>The 36-year-old has played a pivotal role in the Herons’ road to the quarterfinals, where they’ll take on the winner of Charlotte FC vs. Houston Dynamo. Needless to say, Leo <strong>is the man of the hour</strong> in South Florida.</p>



<p>While his impressive performances are not surprising at all, not everyone thought this would be a good match. In fact, Inter Miami have just <strong>released a player who thought the club wasn’t prepared</strong> to have a player of Messi’s caliber.</p>



<h2>Inter Miami cut GK Nick Marsman a few months after his comments on Messi’s possible arrival</h2>



<p>Inter Miami bought out veteran goalkeeper <strong>Nick Marsman</strong>, who joined the club in July 2021 after a long career in the Netherlands, where he played for the likes of Feyenoord and Utretch, among others. <strong>Back in June</strong>, he said the team wasn’t ready to have Messi on board.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>I personally think that this club is not ready</strong> for Messi’s arrival. <strong>We have a temporary stadium, people can just walk on the pitch, there are no gates. </strong>We also leave for the stadium without security. I think they aren’t ready</em>,” Marsman told <em>ESPN</em>.</p>

It’s a lesson learned for MLS who will need to rethink certain seating arrangements. <strong>Fans were mixed together at Toyota Stadium</strong>, and it marked the first instant where die hard MLS fans were not too thrilled to be overrun by one game Messi supporters.</p>



<p>During the match FC Dallas fans began chanting <em><strong>“this is our house”,</strong></em> when the team went up 3-1, as a protest to having to share their home field with fans who paid through the nose to see Lionel Messi in action, and most likely will not return to see FC Dallas.</p>

Lionel Messi fans and FC Dallas supporters clash after wild Leagues Cup match

Lionel Messi fans and FC Dallas supporters clash after wild Leagues Cup match - Bolavip US

<p>When it looked like he was about to suffer his first setback in the US, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> </strong>stepped up to help <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong> reach the <strong>2023 Leagues Cup</strong> quarterfinals. Following a dramatic 4-4 draw in regular time, <strong>the Herons beat Dallas FC 5-3 in the penalty shootout.</strong></p>



<p>The Argentine superstar put his side in front <strong>only five minutes into the game</strong>, but the hosts eventually hit back. Facundo Quignon and Bernard Kamungo turned things around before halftime, with Alan Velasco extending Dallas’ lead in the second half. Benjamin Cremaschi put Inter Miami back in the game, though an own goal by Robert Taylor put Messi’s team <strong>in a tough spot.</strong></p>



<p>However, Gerardo Martino’s men never gave up and it paid off. An own goal by Marco Farfan put them just one goal away from tying the match, and Messi made sure to keep his team’s hopes alive <strong>with a fantastic free-kick goal</strong>. On penalties, Leo’s side got the upper hand. Of course,<strong> social media went wild.</strong></p>
