Inter Miami were eliminated from the 2026 Leagues Cup after falling 3-2 to Club León, where Lionel Messi returned to action following the passing of his father. Inter Miami’s run in the 2026 Leagues Cup came to an end on Wednesday, falling 3-2 to Club Leon at Nu Stadium. But even in defeat, the story of the night belonged to Lionel Messi, who made an emotional return to the pitch just days after the passing of his father, Jorge Messi. Leon manager Javier Gandolfi didn’t hold back when asked about facing Messi under those circumstances. “For people to understand what Leo Messi is, I think it was proven today. I think words fall short. He’s a competitive animal, a player who, in my opinion, is the best in history. He’s the best in history on the field, and then with things we see from a distance,” he said during postgame press conference. Messi entered off the bench at the start of the second half with Miami leading 1-0, but Leon rallied behind a brace from Daniel Arcila and a goal from Juan Domínguez to complete the comeback, with Dániel Pintér and Yannick Bright scoring for Miami. The result sent Leon through to the knockout stage after winning all three of their group matches, while Miami’s Leagues Cup campaign ended with just one win in three outings. Este abrazo es de León, de todos, del futbol, y es para ti querido Lionel.RESPETO Y CARIÑO 💚@TeamMessi pic.twitter.com/D1Tdb03DOf— Club León (@clubleonfc) August 13, 2026 Even in a moment of personal grief, Messi’s decision to suit up resonated well beyond his own locker room, drawing praise from teammates and opponents alike for a display of commitment that few in the sport could match. Miami’s locker room rallies around Messi Inside Inter Miami‘s own squad, the reaction to Messi’s return was just as emotional. Casemiro called it an example for everyone around him: “He’s an example, because in the end he’s surely going through a very tough time… I had never seen anything like that in my life,” he said, adding that “the commitment he has to us and the commitment he has to the club is something to applaud”. Bright echoed that sentiment from his own perspective, admitting he didn’t expect to see Messi in the squad at all. “It’s incredible. I wasn’t expecting it and it shows how much he cares,” he said, before pledging to give “150%” for his captain going forward — a fitting response from a group that, despite the early exit, made clear where its focus truly was on the night.
Tottenham are reportedly set to clear out even more names as Cristian Romero and Djed Spence close in on transfers away. Spurs had a busy start to the summer with big-money deals for the likes of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke, so it makes sense that they now need some sales […] The post Tottenham set for further clear-out as duo on the verge of completing transfers appeared first on CaughtOffside.
Julian Alvarez has spoken to Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone for the first time since declaring that he wants to leave the club in order to 'fulfil his dream'.
Arteta has personally asked for him to be signed this summer Mikel Arteta is eager for Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid star Marc Pubill to bolster his defence ahead of the new season. The Premier League champions have strengthened in midfield and in attack with Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis added to the squad for a combined fee of £109million. But problems in defence have the club eager to recruit another option at the back ahead of the defence of their title. Pubill has shone at Atletico after his move from Almeria a year ago, arriving as a full-back before featuring prominently at centre-half after the turn of the year.

The Spain international played the full 90 minutes in each of Atletico’s Champions League semi-finals against Arsenal with Arteta hugely impressed by the 23-year-old. According to AS, he immediately instructed Andrea Berta to ‘make a move’ for the defender, with the club’s sporting director approaching his former employers over a transfer. Arsenal were prepared to ‘break the bank’ to bring Pubill to north London but the report states things have gone no further with Atletico determined to hold onto their defender with talks also underway to tie him down to a new contract. Pubill is also said to be fully committed to the project in the Spanish capital. Pubill was part of Spain’s World Cup-winning squad (Picture: REUTERS) Arsenal boast perhaps the most formidable defence in club football but injury problems have been a growing issue. In addition to Pubill, the Gunners have also been linked with Barcelona star Jules Kounde and Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa this summer. Jurrien Timber, Arteta’s first-choice right-back, has not played since March with a groin injury ruling him out of the season run-in and the World Cup with Netherlands. He has returned to training but his manager has been unable to provide a clear timescale for his return to the team. Ben White, another option at right-back and centre-half, suffered a knee injury in May that also ruled him out of the World Cup. The former Brighton star is fit again, featuring in pre-season.

He and the club opted against the option of surgery over the summer with the France international likely to miss the opening months of the new campaign. Elsewhere, Arsenal have explored a deal to sign another Atletico star in Julian Alvarez. The Argentina international is desperate to join Barcelona however with reports in Spain claiming he is not interested in a return to England.
