What Carlos Vela said before the match against Lionel Messi's Inter Miami

Inter Miami faces LAFC in a new MLS matchday. Lionel Messi's team must continue in its search to try to qualify for the playoffs and for this, it hopes to position itself in the best possible way with each of its following rivals. One of them, precisely the United States champion, like LAFC.

This meeting generates a lot of expectation in the United States. The match between Lionel Messi and Carlos Vela has tickets at a very high price. The reality is that it is a clash of MLS stars and two of the teams with the highest level of form in recent weeks. However, it seems that the Mexican is not very impressed by Inter Miami and this is what he says about it.

Carlos Vela, captain of LAFC, will be facing Lionel Messi for the first time in the MLS, as well as the other figures who have come to strengthen Inter Miam (Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets), but the Mexican confessed that he is just a rival more than they have to beat.

What did Carlos Vela say about Messi?

"No (it motivates him to face Messi), the truth is that for me being able to play, being healthy, available for my team, is my motivation. And being able to go every weekend, to every game, to show that I am a good player", mentioned Vela in a press conference. The game is scheduled for next Sunday, September 3, in a meeting that is highly expected.
