Inter Miami starts MLS season strong with Messi leading the way
In a thrilling season opener, Inter Miami secured a 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake with the help of superstar Lionel Messi. The Argentine forward showcased his brilliance on the field by assisting on both goals, proving once again why he is considered one of the greatest players of all time.
Messi, who joined Inter Miami last season and led the team to a Leagues Cup championship with 11 goals in 14 matches, was in top form in the opener. Despite being 37 years old, he nearly scored from a free kick and a corner kick in the first half, demonstrating his enduring skill and dominance in the game.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber expressed optimism for Inter Miami’s success and global impact with Messi on their team. The fans have also shown their support by flocking to buy Messi jerseys, making him the top-selling player in the league last year.
Inter Miami’s strong start can be attributed to their international preseason tour, where they played seven matches in five different countries. The team’s performance against Real Salt Lake in the season opener gives hope for a successful season ahead.
Off the field, Messi’s presence continues to attract attention and boost viewership and impact of MLS and Inter Miami. Apple TV has even released a series on Messi’s journey in the league, which has been well-received in its first year.
As Inter Miami looks to build on their early success, all eyes will be on Messi to see if he can lead the team to even greater heights in the MLS.
