The real challenge Messi could face that might affect Inter Miami's winning streak

Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are on a winning streak. The Herons have remained undefeated since the Argentine's arrival at the team. With a Leagues Cup title and a US Open Cup final awaiting, things couldn't be better for Gerardo Martino's team.

Today's match against the New York Red Bulls will mark Lionel Messi's highly anticipated debut in the MLS. Just a month after his arrival, Messi has scored 10 goals in 8 matches, an impressive record that underscores the footballing quality of the Argentine. Moreover, he led his team to victory in the newly established Leagues Cup.

The arrival of the former Barcelona player has brought joy to many, including himself. In various statements and interviews, Messi has stated that he made a good decision coming to play in the United States. He mentioned that joining Miami has restored many of the joys he seemed to have lost in recent years. Similarly, he expressed his desire to continue playing and enjoy the game as much as possible.

With Messi's motivation and leadership, Inter Miami faces a challenge that they hope to overcome with the Argentine, starting from today.

The Challenge for Inter Miami

Despite the unbeaten record of 8 matches for Inter Miami, before Messi's arrival, the Florida team wasn't experiencing its best period. Currently, the team is on the bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference. According to official statistics, David Beckham's team has gone 11 matches without a win in Major League Soccer. In their last match before Messi's arrival, Miami lost against Saint Louis FC. Undoubtedly, a situation they will strive to change today against New York.
