Lionel Messi experienced a bizarre and heartwarming moment upon his return to action for Inter Miami following the death of his father. During a Leagues Cup match against Club Leon, Colombian defender Jhohan Romana stopped Messi's dribble before picking the Argentine legend up off the floor in a warm embrace.
While MLS has dominated the previous League Cup tournaments, this year's edition has shown some fightback from Liga MX sides as both Inter Miami and Orlando City suffered losses.
Former Manchester United star Anthony Martial was stretchered off during his latest Liga MX outing for Monterrey after suffering a horror injury, which required hospital treatment. The Frenchman was withdrawn just before half-time in his side's 1-0 win over Club Leon after dislocating his shoulder, and is now set for a spell on the sidelines.
