Rodrigo De Paul Honors Lionel Messi with Jersey Tribute After Scoring for Inter Miami
Rodrigo De Paul scored a long-range goal for Inter Miami in their Leagues Cup match against Monterrey, dedicating his celebration to teammate Lionel Messi by revealing Messi's iconic No. 10 jersey underneath his own. Messi missed the match to attend his father Jorge's funeral in Argentina; Jorge, who passed away at 68, was a key figure in Messi's career. Despite De Paul's tribute and early lead, Inter Miami lost 2-1. Both teams observed a minute's silence, and Inter Miami players wore black armbands in respect.
