This Saturday night was the Finals in America, but not from the NBA. Instead we’ll be talking about football with Leo Messi, who offered to give Inter Miami their first title against Nashville NC. Giannis Antetokounmpo, however, pulled out all the stops before kick-off.
It was a wonderful Saturday evening in the American world, with the League Cup final between Inter Miami and Nashville. An important game for Leo Messi, who also won his first trophy after a penalty shootout. Still the scorer for the occasion, the Argentine player was warmly praised by his teammates:

When Giannis provoked Leo Messi
If it’s all about the NBA, thanks for that Giannis Antetokounmpo, The latter invested his money in various things including football. He is a minority shareholder in Nashville and so he was in the stadium to watch the final. He did even more like Cristiano Ronaldo before kick-off with a goal and a challenge.

If the public liked it, it was not enough to allow this team to win the title, even if it was not very far. One can imagine the disappointment of the Greek freak, who still has to wait to celebrate the trophy with Nashville.
Giannis Antetokounmpo tried to provoke Leo Messi before this final, but it didn’t help his players. Too bad for them, but since coming to this championship, Argentina have been hard to fight against. We have to be patient for the Bucks player.
