Messi Claims 46th Career Trophy in Inter Miami’s Triumph
Lionel Messi has once again etched his name into football history, capturing the 46th trophy of his illustrious career.
With Inter Miami’s victory in the Supporters’ Shield, Messi extends his reign as the most decorated footballer in the sport’s history.
The achievement follows a thrilling 3-2 win against Columbus Crew, where Messi delivered a standout performance, netting two crucial goals.
The Supporters’ Shield is a prestigious award given to the team with the best regular season record in Major League Soccer (MLS).
It is a testament to consistent excellence throughout the season, and Messi’s contribution has been pivotal to Inter Miami’s remarkable success.
This milestone adds to Messi’s growing list of accolades since joining the Herons. Earlier in the summer of 2023, he led the team to victory in the Leagues Cup, securing his 44th career title.
Messi’s brilliance didn’t stop there. Soon after, he played a key role in helping Argentina claim another Copa America title, further solidifying his legendary status in both club and international football.
As Messi continues to shatter records and lift trophies, his enduring influence on the game remains undeniable, proving that his journey to greatness is far from over.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
