Lionel Messi pens heartfelt message to Inter Miami after 45th trophy celebration
Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi took to social media to thank the club for acknowledging his recent career milestone.
The 37-year-old scored a brace in the first leg of the tie, in which Barcelona won 3-0, and although Liverpool overturned the tie, winning 4-0, Trent still shudders at the frightfulness of turning up against the diminutive footballing mage.
“There's just a different feeling playing against him that I've ever felt with anyone else,” Trent told the Mirror, per ESPN.
“You're always on red alert when the ball is near him. I think it's very rare for a player to kind of put that feeling into other players so, for that reason, I have to say him.

“For me, I think in many, many aspects of the game, he's probably the best at any given moment; he can almost do what he wants on a football pitch so for that reason, he's the best.”
The last three years has seen Messi peel away from his closest competitor in the GOAT debate, Cristiano Ronaldo. He won two Copa America titles and the grandest trophy of all, the World Cup.
The latest Copa America win made him the most decorated footballer in history, with 45 trophies and he was honoured by his club, Inter Miami, in a short but elaborate ceremony.
