So what if you stay away from the five major leagues? Still leading the team to win three times, Messi interprets the value of the king of football!

After the draw with Palmeiras, Miami International team successfully qualified for the second place in the group A of this Club World Cup without being favored. Although their next opponent will be Messi's old club, Paris Saint-Germain, who just won the Champions League, is unlikely to continue to advance, but being able to break out of the group has exceeded many people's expectations. And you should know that Messi is now 38 years old, but he is still in a pretty good state, which also makes fans very excited. In fact, although he has been away from the five major leagues for more than two years, he still won 4 championship trophys, which can be said to explain what the contemporary football king is. Let’s take a look at what surprises Messi has brought to fans in the past two years.

1. Say goodbye to Paris Greater and lead Miami to the top!

Back in the 22-23 season, after helping the Argentina national team win the World Cup championship, Messi, who has a very successful career, is still working diligently to help Paris Saint-Germain move forward in the club. Although he failed to go further in the Champions League, overall, Messi's condition was very good. He not only broke the historical goal record of the five major leagues maintained by Ronaldo, but also surpassed Brazilian legend Pele at the end of the season and became the player with the most goals + assists in the entire football world. In the end, his personal data was frozen at 21 goals and 20 assists, winning the title of assists in the French Ligue 1 season, and helped the team win the league championship and the French Super Cup. The number of championships in his career successfully tied with former teammate Alves and tied for becoming the player with the most championship titles in history. With the expiration of the contract, Messi no longer chose to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. Instead, he bid farewell to this top club with full of honors, and left the five major leagues, came to the United States in a very satisfactory way, freely joining Miami International.

And after coming to Miami, Messi quickly proved his value. Although the team once ranked last in the Eastern Conference, they still retained the hope of winning the championship on the stage of the North American League Cup. Messi quickly integrated into the team's tactical system. When he represented the team in the League Cup for the first time, he performed a wonderful performance of 2 shots, 1 pass and 3 goals, helping the team win the game. In the subsequent journey, they also defeated many strong opponents all the way. In the final, they narrowly won the North American League Cup championship through a penalty shootout. It's only 73 days before Messi joined the team, but he has helped the team win the championship. It is undoubtedly a huge achievement for Miami, which hasn't been established for a long time. Moreover, in the League Cup, Messi made 7 appearances, scored 10 goals and gave 1 assist. He was also successfully elected as the Golden Boot and MVP for the event, and successfully surpassed Alves and became the player with the largest number of championships in the entire football history.

2. Win two more championships and define the legend again!

Due to the different competition system of the major leagues in the United States and European football, Messi has reached the end of the season when he joined. Therefore, he only played 14 games for the team in the 22-23 season, and ended the entire season. However, even in these 14 games, he still contributed 11 goals and 5 assists and was successfully elected as the best player in the team. And at the end of 2023, he won the Golden Globe Award for the eighth time with his outstanding performance in the Qatar World Cup. Taking advantage of this momentum, with the start of the 23-24 season, and with the arrival of old teammates Luis Suarez, Alba, Busquets and others, Miami's strength has increased greatly and has performed extremely well in this season. He contributed 21 goals and 11 assists in a single season, helping Miami complete a major counterattack, directly from the bottom of last season to become the first in the entire regular season. Although he failed to go further in the playoffs, Messi still successfully won the championship of the 46th top event in his career, continuing to break his own personal record.

And at the national team level, he also made some achievements. He successfully surpassed Suarez in the South American qualifiers of the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup and became the historical scorer in the South American World Cup qualifiers. In addition, in the Copa America held in 2024, he successfully helped Argentina defeat Colombia 1-0 in the final and completed the defending career of the Copa America. At the same time, he won the World Cup once, won the Copa America twice, and topped the European and American Cup once in the past three years, allowing Argentina to complete a terrifying dominance in FIFA. In addition, Argentina also had an absolute advantage in the South American World Cup qualifiers, leading the entire list with 35 points. It is the first team among the various national teams in South America to advance to the World Cup finals ahead of schedule. After returning to the league, Messi still maintained a good state. On the stage of the recently reorganized first Club World Cup, he helped Miami not be optimistic to complete the promotion. Even at the age of 38, he was able to lead the victory of the game. It has to be said that Messi is a living legend and is still redefining his legendary story in various ways.
