Lionel Messi Exits Inter Miami's League Cup With Apparent Leg Injury
Lionel Messi limped out of Inter Miami's Leagues Cup match against Mexican club Necaxa after just 10 minutes on Saturday with an apparent leg injury. Messi was sent tumbling to the turf four minutes earlier, when he was involved in a collision with Necaxa defender Alexis Pena at the top of the visitors' penalty area at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. The living legend, who celebrated his 38th birthday last month, tried to continue. Messi needed to be treated by Miami's training staff on the pitch before walking slowly to the sideline and then to the Herons' dressing room. He was replaced by fellow Argentine Federico Redondo. Jordi Alba had the tying goal on a header that made it 2-2 in the second minute of stoppage time to force the shootout, which Inter Miami won 5-4. Inter Miami converted all five of its penalty kicks, and goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo denied Tomás Badaloni in the third round of the shootout. Suárez hit the winning shot into the top left corner. Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the match that Messi was not necessarily in pain but felt a pull. He indicated that Messi will be examined on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury. "There's probably something there," Mascherano said through an interpreter. Miami opened the scoring seconds after Messi exited, with Herons newcomer Rodrigo De Paul — Messi's teammate on Argentina's 2022 World Cup-winning squad — setting up Venezuelan attacker Talasco Segovia's blast from outside the box. It was De Paul's first assist for his new club. The night soon took another wrong turn for the hosts, though, as Inter defender Maximiliano Falcon was shown a straight red card in the 17th minute. Necaxa would capitalize on their man advantage by equalizing before the first half was finished. Inter Miami, the 2023 Leagues Cup champion, also won its 2025 competition opener 2-1 over Atlas last Wednesday. The Herons round out the first phase of the competition, which includes 18 MLS representatives and all 18 teams from Liga MX on Aug. 6 against UNAM Pumas.

Inter Miami: bad news, Lionel Messi injured!
Lionel Messi Last night, Lionel Messi left his Inter Miami teammates early during the Leagues Cup clash against Necaxa. The Argentine star picked up an injury. Messi was forced off during his side's qualification match against Mexican club Necaxa in the Leagues Cup. Lionel Messi had to leave the pitch after a collision with Necaxa defender Alexis Pena. The former PSG player received treatment on his right thigh before being substituted after just 11 minutes of play. "He felt some discomfort. But we won't know the extent of his injury until tomorrow (Sunday). There's definitely something, but maybe it's not too serious because he wasn't in real pain. Still, he felt something," said Miami head coach Javier Mascherano. It's worth noting that Inter Miami came out on top. They claimed a 5-4 victory in the penalty shootout (2-2 after regular time).

It was in the 11th minute when Inter Miami confirmed that their player would not be able to continue on the field, due to a double blow he suffered with the Necaxa defense. Although Messi's face said it all while the doctors attended to him on the pitch, it appears to be a muscle injury in his right leg.
