Messi Advocates for Leagues Cup Reform Amidst Praises for U.S. Soccer Expansion
Lionel Messi has acknowledged the significant growth of soccer in the United States since his move to Inter Miami, but he is advocating for a critical change to the Leagues Cup. He proposes that matches should also be hosted in Mexico, to balance the playing field and acknowledge Liga MX’s long-standing football culture.
Discussions between MLS and Liga MX are reportedly underway to implement this change, as Messi’s influence continues to shape the North American football landscape, even inspiring other international stars like Son Heung-Min to join the league.
