“Superstar” Lionel Messi has just successfully defended the Copa America championship with the Argentina team.

With the latest achievement, the “little squirrel” has surpassed his former teammate Dani Alves to become the football player

with the most championship titles in the world with 45 titles.

Due to injury, Messi did not return to his hometown Argentina to participate in the celebration with his teammates. However, Inter Miami did not let their captain be sad on his special day.

Yesterday (July 21), Messi and his family, as usual, attended the match between Inter Miami and Chicago Fire.

The team’s leadership arranged an extremely impressive welcoming ceremony.

Before the match, fireworks lit up the crowd of fans. Immediately after that, 45 children holding photos of each title and the time Messi achieved in his career slowly walked to the center circle printed with the words “45 titles” amid the cheers of fans.

Inter Miami co-president – billionaire Jorge Mas – then presented Messi with a photo with the number 45, made up of the times the Argentine player won the championship.

On Messi’s big day, Inter Miami won 2-1 against Chicago Fire thanks to goals from Matias Rojas and Jordi Alba.
