The debut of Lionel Messi’s American competition is a bit longer. Messi was supposed to make his Major League Soccer debut for Inter Miami CF against Charlotte FC on August 20. However, since the Florida club has achieved great success in the League Cup since Messi’s arrival, the program must be modified.
Under the leadership of the Argentine forward, Inter Miami reached the quarterfinals of the tournament for clubs from the American and Mexican leagues. In four matches, Messi has already scored seven goals, two of which came in the fantastic match with FC Dallas (4-4) on Sunday, which was decided by a penalty shootout.
Inter Miami will face Charlotte FC in the Quarterfinals tomorrow. Because one of the two clubs will contest the final or third-place match on August 19, the reciprocal competition match will be moved. According to MLS, Messi will make his major league debut on August 26 against the New York Red Bulls.
Major League Soccer started at the end of February and has now been suspended for a few weeks due to the League Cup. Inter Miami is at the bottom of the standings, but it hopes to climb the ranks of Messi, as it attracted the Spaniards Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
