Superstar Lionel Messi suffered a worrying injury to his right leg in the Copa America 2024 final a few days ago. However, Messi still made an effort to go to the stadium to watch his home club Inter Miami play Toronto FC on the morning of July 18.
Many fans couldn’t help but feel heartbroken when they saw Messi walking unsteadily as he walked out of the tunnel. The 37-year-old superstar, despite wearing a foot brace, still grimaced with every step. Appearing with Messi were his wife Antonella and their children.
According to the initial conclusion, Messi has torn the ligaments in his right ankle and it is unclear when he will be able to return. However, Inter Miami is playing well despite the absence of their number 1 star. Against Toronto FC, the team easily won 3-1 to reclaim the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
Messi and his teammates in Argentina have just successfully defended the Copa America championship. Although Messi’s contribution has decreased compared to the previous Copa, the team still has individuals who know how to contribute at the right time.
However, the Argentine team has just been involved in an unfortunate scandal while celebrating on the bus after winning the championship. Enzo Fernandez and some other players livestreamed a song mocking the African origin of some French players. Enzo apologized but this player will most likely still receive a punishment.
