Hello, fellow football fans! Today, let's talk about a heartbreaking moment that occurred in the Open Cup final, leaving fans in despair.
In the match between Miami International and Houston Dynamo, a 1-2 scoreline denied Miami International the opportunity to secure their second-ever championship on home turf.
During this game, there was a moment that weighed heavily on the hearts of the fans.

As the match reached stoppage time, Campaña missed a crucial scoring opportunity.

This left Messi visibly distraught, highlighting his yearning for the championship.
Messi had made a comeback in the game against Toronto, only to be substituted in the 37th minute.
Subsequently, he missed the following matches, building anticipation among the fans for his return.
However, this time, he remained on the bench alongside Alba.

Without Messi and Alba, Miami International struggled throughout the match, with only one shot in the first half reflecting their difficulties.
In the second half, Martino made substitutions, bringing on Martinez to bolster the attack, which had some effect.
Nevertheless, in the first minute of injury time, Martinez scored for Miami International.

Unfortunately, just four minutes later, Campaña had a golden opportunity to score, but his header was collected by the Houston Dynamo goalkeeper.
In the stands, Messi couldn't hide his disappointment, lamenting Campaña's missed chance.

If Miami International had won, it would have been Messi's 45th career championship and his first chance to 'lie down with the crown.'
However, due to their limitations in strength, Miami International fell short in this match.
Messi's dream of 'lying down with the crown' remained unfulfilled.

Miami's strength is what it is, even with a Messi, it's not all-encompassing.

It's tough if they have to rely on Messi for every game; Messi is also getting older and may not be able to carry the team anymore.

Their talk is also about winning, but it might be a possibility for the next season, right?

Are they saying they couldn't win the championship this time because Messi didn't play? Is Messi really that crucial?

The entire team can't rely on Messi alone.

Summing things up afterward is just one way of looking at it; it's just an observation.
