Messi Shines in Leagues Cup Between World Campaigns

Lionel Messi scored a brace in the Leagues Cup, continuing his intense club rhythm with Inter Miami. Matías Almeyda, Monterrey's coach, humorously commented on the Argentine Ballon d'Or winner's immediate involvement after the international competition. These regular season matches allow him to maintain his physical form ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Argentina will count on this offensive momentum to defend its title.
