Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami as a free agent last summer marked a significant turning point for both the team and MLS. Since then, he has made a monumental impact, scoring 15 goals, providing six assists, and contributing to their victory in last season’s Leagues Cup. Manager Martino, who previously worked with Messi at Barcelona and with the Argentine national team, has commended the 36-year-old’s performance.

Martino emphasized Messi’s enduring competitive spirit and relentless pursuit of victory, qualities that have remained consistent throughout his career. Despite having managed Messi on multiple occasions, Martino remains impressed by his unwavering dedication, which mirrors his early days at Barcelona.

Messi’s influence extends beyond the pitch, as his presence has significantly boosted Inter Miami’s fortunes, elevating them from MLS underdogs to strong contenders for the title. Additionally, his involvement has drawn substantial attention to the league, resulting in heightened viewership and commercial success for both the club and MLS as a whole.

Inter Miami’s progress is further evidenced by their strategic signings, such as Luis Suarez, signaling a promising future ahead. As they prepare for their CONCACAF Champions Cup clash against Nashville and an upcoming MLS fixture against D.C. United, Messi’s leadership continues to guide the team towards further success.
