The Argentine icon scored his ninth goal in six games for the MLS squad as Miami topped the Philadelphia Union in a Leagues Cup semifinal.
The Union played to swaths of empty seats in previous rounds of the Leagues Cup, a month-long tournament featuring every team from MLS and Mexico’s Liga MX, but the meeting with Messi’s Miami squad sold out in eight minutes Saturday. On Tuesday morning, the cheapest seat on Ticketmaster was a standing-room spot for $241. On StubHub, two field-level club seats were listed for $16,200 each.
Remarkably, Messi’s production has lived up to the outsize expectations. He capped his debut with a 94th-minute winner off a free kick as . Two weeks later, he rifled home another set piece for an 85th-minute equalizer at FC Dallas. All told, he has found the net in each of his six appearances while racking up nine goals.Messi also helped recruit a couple of his longtime Barcelona teammates: Sergio Busquets, a calming influence in central midfield Tuesday, and Jordi Alba, who notched Miami’s third goal in first-half stoppage time.
