Mauricio Pedroza shed light on Messi’s influence on the situation, stating, “Lionel Messi got Tuca Ferretti fired. Tuca Ferretti has been in the coaching business for 35 years and he had never been fired from any single club that he managed,” Pedroza added. The reporter highlighted the information received before the match indicating that if Cruz Azul were to lose against Inter Miami and Messi, the board would likely dismiss Ferretti.

“And it happened,” Pedroza added. This led Mauricio Pedroza to claim, “You know, he makes managers second guess themselves”. This got followed by Gomez further stating, “He makes players second guess themselves”. As Inter Miami progresses to the final of the League Cup, the anticipation and excitement surrounding Lionel Messi only continue to build.
