Gerardo Tata Martino, coach of Inter Miami, spoke as usual after the match. The Argentine coach answered all kinds of questions and seemed more relaxed than during the preseason, naturally. These are some of the most relevant phrases from the press conference.

“I saw Messi very loose, very fine, with a lot of speed. "Leo has something that doesn't happen with any other player in the world: he can grab the ball far from the opponent's goal and the feeling is that that ball is going to end up in a goal situation."

“When we came back from pre-season in Japan, we had three and a half days off and then we had more training together. We arrived with several practices at the beginning of the league and the truth is that sometimes this is needed. Each training produces greater knowledge. They know each other, a lot. But finding that partnership that they already had in Barcelona is good”
