Goodbye Miami? Messi reveals the team he dreams of signing for

Inter Miami's last preseason match ended in a 1-1 draw against Newell's Old Boys of Rosario with Argentine star Lionel Messi in the starting lineup. Messi fulfilled his dream of facing his childhood team, a Newell's Old Boys where it all began for him and which is the club he has never hidden his fondness for. It has been demonstrated in many moments of his career, with iconic images such as the celebration at Camp Nou of the goal dedicated to Maradona shortly after his death.

The DRV PNK Stadium was packed with fans of the Argentine club, who painted the stands with numerous banners. Newell's and national team legend Maxi Rodriguez was also present and posed with Messi and 'Tata' Martino wearing an Argentine jersey. Messi started the match as a starter, however, he could not get on the scoreboard despite looking for that goal, mainly in the first half, where a free kick was the most dangerous action for the former Barcelona player.

Shanyder Borgelin put Inter Miami ahead with a header in the 64th minute. Franco Díaz equalized for Newell's in the 83rd minute. Messi's first preseason as an MLS player may not have gone according to plan. Inter Miami embarked on a global exhibition tour, for marketing purposes, featuring Messi and Suarez.

Messi's gesture

Although Messi has a long contract with Miami, he inadvertently showed the love he has for Newell's and he dreams of playing with them, although for now it would be complicated due to the problems of the South American country's economy and even insecurity. Messi was photographed with some shorts of the Argentine team.
