Will soccer star Lionel Messi win his first title with neo-club Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup against Nashville on Sunday? Since the arrival of the Argentinian world champions at the Florida State club, the MLS club have won six straight MLS cup games and are on the verge of their first title. “Winning the title would be incredible, a nice thing,” said Messi at his first press conference as a professional from Inter Miami – and could not resist a dig at his ex-club Paris Saint-Germain: “My move to Paris was not what I wanted.”
Rather, it was his wish to stay at FC Barcelona: The massively indebted Catalans could no longer afford the 36-year-old, who crowned his career with the World Cup triumph in Qatar last December.
After his contract with PSG expired, Messi, unlike some international stars, turned down an offer from Saudi Arabia and joined co-owner David Beckham’s team in the United States.
Opposite of Paris
Messi has already scored nine goals in Inter-Dress. He hasn’t regretted the change of continent, even if he says he still has to get used to the muggy, hot weather in Miami. Otherwise it is the opposite of what happened in Paris, where he had a difficult time. He now wants to help the MLS to achieve an even better international standing. “There are all the prerequisites for top football here,” he told ESPN. Perhaps he can already celebrate his first title a month after his arrival.
