Fans immediately flocked to X to share their excitement.

Inter Miami demolished and put 5 goals past them even with Messi man-marked. Whole team stepping up, they are finally a real team just in time for MLS Cup.
This comment shows how supporters are recognising the team effort, not just Messi’s brilliance.
Similarly, S3rG10 (@servicar3219os) celebrated Messi’s influence beyond the club, emphasising:
When you have the best player in history, you not only raise the level of your team but also the entire league. Inter Miami, finalists. Messi GOAT.
Other fans focused on individual performances and respect earned.

I just want to apologise Allende. You’ve been annoying me all season but these playoffs… man big respect.
Aetherium_91 (@NityanandY7886) summed up the sentiment about Messi’s impact in a simple statement:
When Messi leads, trophies follow.
Pain.𝕏 (@GBarca_) added context to the transformation, noting:
Without Messi they were last on the league, with him they’ve won 3 trophies now.
Unreal influence.
The reactions highlight a wider appreciation for how Messi has transformed Inter Miami’s fortunes, blending veteran experience with leadership on the pitch.
