Open Extended ReactionsLionel Messi suffered an hamstring injury during Inter Miami's Leagues Cup penalty shootout win over Club Necaxa, leaving the field in the 11th minute and heading directly into the locker room at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Messi came into contact with Necaxa's Raúl Sánchez and Alexis Peña when dribbling into the box, before stumbling to the ground and slamming the pitch in frustration. The Inter Miami captain attempted to walk it off for a couple of minutes but ultimately sought medical attention and left the game. "Leo felt a discomfort in his hamstring," Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano said after the game. Before kickoff Saturday night, Messi had featured in 30 games for Inter Miami in 2025 across all tournaments, including the Concacaf Champions Cup, the Club World Cup, Leagues Cup and the Major League Soccer regular season.
