In a heartwarming display of camaraderie, Lionel Messi exhibited his sportsmanship as he presented the captain’s armband to former Inter Miami skipper DeAndre Yedlin before lifting the Leagues Cup trophy together.

Throughout the season, the 30-year-old American international, Yedlin, had led the charge as Inter Miami’s captain, a role he gracefully handed over upon Messi’s arrival.

After Inter Miami’s remarkable victory over Nashville in the Leagues Cup final, Messi seized the opportunity to honor his teammate’s leadership. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner handed over the captain’s armband to Yedlin, who proudly wore it as the team ascended the podium to collect the championship trophy.

As the jubilant Miami squad celebrated their franchise’s inaugural title, Messi pointed to Yedlin, symbolically designating him to be the one to lift the coveted trophy, signifying not only a triumph on the field but also the unity and respect that permeate the world of soccer.
