Lionel Messi has a magnetism to make history. When the Argentine star was born, fate seemed to whisper in his ears that it would not abandon him. Both made their deals. And another deal could close in the 2025 League Cup final on Sunday, August 31st.

It’s an unprecedented clash in Seattle, with spectacular overtones. Javier Maschelano’s team is looking for a second crown in the tournament, but the sounders are still looking to win the only international trophy that is lacking.
