Lionel Messi is already beginning to leave great moments in the MLS. The Argentine player has arrived at Inter Miami and has completely changed the way the team works, but in the best possible way. Together with Busquets and Jordi Alba, Inter Miami plays in a great way and even won the first title in the club's history, such as the 2023 Leagues Cup.

 

Now, different players who have already faced Messi in the competition are beginning to tell their anecdotes about what they experienced every time they face Messi's Inter Miami. Such is the case of one of the stars of Charlotte FC, Scott Arfield, who has been able to face Messi in recent weeks. However, he came to confess that the player completely upset him.

"I tried to tackle him, and he made me cuddle my teammate," Arfield said in an interview with The Athletic. The player has established himself in a big way in Florida and will try to help his team achieve their qualification to the MLS playoffs. A complex feat given that when Messi arrived the club were bottom of their conference.

 

When will Messi play again with Inter Miami?

The Argentine soccer player is currently concentrating on his country's national team. The player has set himself the objective of supporting his team to get his ticket to the 2026 World Cup, regardless of whether he decides to play in said competition or not. With Miami, the player would return for the day of September 16, but it would be a doubt since he would come from intense activity with Argentina.
