Tonight against Orlando City, the Venezuelan number 9 was dispatched with a penalty goal and an assist for Messi, for which he would have gained the confidence of the 10, who could choose him over Suárez, who has a chronic knee problem and does not can perform 100%.
This triumph is historic for Inter Miami, since it was the first Sun Classic with Lionel Messi on the field, and closing it with a victory against his people at the DRV PNK Stadium was a dream for David Beckham.
