The injury will keep Messi out until next season, but fans were undeterred in their celebrations. Since turning 30, Messi has secured four major international trophies, solidifying his status as a football legend. The Saturday tribute at Inter Miami's stadium was a testament to the fans' unwavering support for their star player.

Messi's right ankle injury is expected to sideline him for about a month, assuming a swift recovery. Even without him, Inter Miami has maintained their lead in the Eastern Conference of the MLS Cup during his Copa América campaign.

As the team prepares for the League Cup competition against Tigres from Monterrey, fans remember Messi’s leadership in winning their first trophy last season. Fortunately, recent updates suggest Messi's recovery time may be shorter than initially expected, bringing hope to his fans and teammates alike.
