Lionel Messi is ready to face his second game in the MLS. Inter Miami returns home and hosts Nashville SC in Lionel Messi's second official duel in the American league. It should be remembered that the Argentine has just won the Leagues Cup with the team and reached the final of the US Open Cup. However, he has only played one game in MLS, in the previous duel against Red Bulls.

 

Inter Miami has the difficult challenge of trying to enter the playoffs with a very wide disadvantage. The Florida team now has Lionel Messi, Busquets and Jordi Alba to attempt the feat in a short time and they had a great first step by defeating New York in the most recent round. However, they must win almost all of their remaining games in order to secure their presence, as they are from the bottom of the conference.

The reality is that the team was not having the best of moments prior to the arrival of Lionel Messi, but now everything has changed. The Argentine star entered the game at minute 60 at the Red Bull Arena, in Harrison, in the state of New Jersey, when Inter was already leading 1-0 with a goal by Diego Gómez at minute 37. However, he scored the second goal for seal the title
