Speaking at the event, Mas expressed pride in Messi's milestone, stating, 'Tonight, we celebrate a great milestone for our captain Leo Messi in becoming the footballer who has lifted the most trophies in the history of the sport. And I am sure he won't stop at 45; we hope he can lift more in the future.'
The celebration included fireworks and a video showcasing Messi's significant achievements on the field. Despite wearing a protective boot due to a ligament injury sustained during the Copa América final, Messi graciously accepted the recognition from Inter Miami.
