During a Leagues Cup match between Inter Miami and Monterrey on August 9, Rodrigo De Paul scored a goal following a cross-field assist from Casemiro. After scoring, De Paul removed his jersey to reveal a Messi shirt underneath, showing support and tribute to Lionel Messi, who had returned to Argentina due to his father's passing. De Paul received a yellow card for the celebration. Messi missed the match as he traveled to Argentina to bid farewell to his father, Jorge Messi, who died at age 68. The gesture was widely noted as a display of solidarity and friendship between the two Argentine teammates.
