Casemiro Declares Messi Best Player After 7-1 Victory

Former Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has declared Lionel Messi as the best player in the world following Messi's remarkable four-goal performance in Inter Miami's 7-1 victory over CF Montreal on Saturday, August 29. Two of Messi's goals were exceptional free kicks, and he also assisted Luis Suarez's goal.

Casemiro, who scored the opening goal for Inter Miami, expressed his admiration for Messi, stating that the Argentine reaffirmed his status as the best player during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In his comments to HITC Sport, Casemiro emphasized the importance of enjoying Messi's presence on the team, highlighting that Messi makes history and strengthens the team.

Casemiro joined Inter Miami on a free transfer this summer after his contract with Manchester United expired and has made nine appearances for the MLS team, six of which were alongside Messi. The two have a history as rivals, having faced each other 20 times in their careers.
