"Messi's magic sends Inter Miami into another final after an incredible run to the US Open Cup semi-finals," USA Today headlined after Inter Miami's dramatic win over Cincinnati in the 2023 US Open Cup semi-finals early on August 24 (Vietnam time).

Just when you thought Inter Miami would lose their first game in the Messi era, it was Messi who made a magical left-footed pass that set up his teammate to score in the 90+7 minute.

Messi lobbed the ball into the box and Campana headed in the second goal in stoppage time in the final minutes of the match," USA Today described the moment Messi assisted his teammate to score for the second time with the class of the 2022 World Cup champion.

Despite not scoring for Inter Miami for the first time in eight MLS appearances, Messi helped the club win their eighth consecutive match and reach the final for the second time in less than a week.

Previously, Inter Miami defeated Nashville to win the Leagues Cup on August 20. That was also the match in which Messi opened the scoring and Inter Miami also won thanks to the penalty shootout.

The New York Post also headlined Messi's excellent performance in the semi-final against Cincinnati: "Lionel Messi's assist, the Argentine star's penalty kick help Inter Miami reach the 2023 US Open Cup final."

"In just a short period of time, it's clear that Messi has had an impact on Inter Miami. After eight games with his new team, Messi has 10 goals, three assists and an own goal.

Inter Miami will now have the chance to compete for the club's second trophy of the Messi era when they play in the US Open Cup final next month," the New York Post added.
