On October 3rd, Messi led Inter Miami to a 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew, securing the MLS regular-season championship and the Supporters’ Shield in advance. Messi scored twice in this match, earning his 46th career title. After the game, he was interviewed by on-site media.
Messi said, “I’m very happy we did it. At the beginning of the year, we knew this was a team worth fighting for. We took control of the situation from the start, and we have players who can make it happen. I’m delighted we’ve secured our first goal, and we’re thinking about what’s next.”
“I think since the arrival of coach Martino and us (Alba, Suarez, and Busquets), the team’s philosophy has been very clear, which is to take control of the game and possession. The arrival of key players has improved the team both in terms of performance and character, and we try to remain competitive in every match.”
It’s worth noting that by winning the regular-season championship, Inter Miami has secured home advantage throughout the MLS playoffs this season.
