Messi factor
The Messi factor is certainly going to be the biggest threat to Nashville. Currently, Lionel Messi is like half of the team. This factor needs to be taken seriously. He has scored goals against 100 opponents now, and his experience and form are not easy to beat.
Messi has played 6 games in the Leagues Cup, and in those games, he has scored 9 goals. Inter Miami lost 11 games consecutively before Messi joined them. However, since the time Messi has been leading the team, they have just been winning consistently.
Now we need to wait for the final on the 20th of August 2023, which is the biggest decider of the final. It’ll be interesting to see how Lionel Messi is going to impact this game.
