Inter Miami Qualify for Leagues Cup Knockout Stage Without Messi
Inter Miami CF has secured a spot in the knockout stage of the 2025 Leagues Cup after a solid 3-1 win over Pumas UNAM on Wednesday night, even without star captain Lionel Messi on the pitch. Messi, who is nursing a hamstring injury from the August 2 clash with Necaxa, watched from the sidelines at Chase Stadium. Despite not playing, he was visibly excited, celebrating each goal with his teammates.
Pumas took the lead early in the match, but Inter Miami quickly turned things around with goals from Luis Suárez, Rodrigo De Paul, and Tadeo Allende. Under coach Javier Mascherano, the team wrapped up the group stage with eight points. They picked up wins over Atlas and Pumas, drew against Necaxa, and earned an extra point by winning the post-draw penalty shootout 5-4.
This year’s Leagues Cup uses a new format where teams compete for points to determine their rankings going into the next stage. Inter Miami, who lifted the trophy in the first edition two years ago, are now back in strong form after falling short in last year’s round of 16.
Football legend Paul Merson praises Mikel Arteta on his win this season and shares good luck to him in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
He praised the manager, saying that Arteta really pushed the club to the best and the win is well deserved.
“Congratulations to Arsenal once again. It is a well-deserved win after 22 years. We can’t wait to see the 30th of May and see if it’s a double win.”
Luis Enrique, manager of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), praised Arsenal F.C. and called them the best team in the world after their win in the Premier League.
He shared: “I believe they deserve to win the league — they have had an outstanding season.
“We have already faced this Arsenal team, so we are aware of their capabilities.
“Without the ball, they are the best team in the world, and with it, they can score frequently. This creates a remarkable combination for them.”
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
