They called him the new Messi and he failed, now he will face Lionel in the MLS
Lionel Messi will reunite with a former teammate of his at FC Barcelona!
Inter Miami started Major League Soccer in the best possible way, with a comfortable victory against Real Salt Lake, 2-0 at home. Although neither Lionel Messi nor Luis Suarez managed to score a goal, the reality is that both were key to the victory, as they each provided an assist.
Now, Inter Miami will face the LA Galaxy on Sunday night, and while the match is important, the match gained more attention because Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets will face a former FC Barcelona teammate , who at some point was nicknamed the new Messi: Riqui Puig.
Riqui Puig was part of the FC Barcelona youth team, and it seemed like he was going to be one of the pillars of the club, but his level fell and he ended up leaving for Major League Soccer, more specifically to the LA Galaxy, where he is still and is one of the main stars of the team. Now, Riqui spoke about Messi before facing him.
These were Riqui Puig's words regarding Lionel Messi: "Obviously he is the best player in history, I think now in the league as well. It was already demonstrated on Wednesday against Salt Lake how well he is playing and how physically well he is. "We have to be very careful against the best player in the world."
Lionel Messi explained why he arrived to Miami:
"There are people who have followed me all my life and already know me and already realize when I am happy. It was the idea, to start decompressing a little after so many years of career, to take it in a different way and I am doing it"
