Inter Miami has been living on another planet since the arrival of Leo Messi last July. Winner of the Leagues Cup, the first title in its history, Tata Martino’s team has had a string of victories, helped by a rediscovered Messi, and the presence of Sergio Busquets and even Jordi Alba. But without his Argentinian star, everything becomes complicated. As evidenced by the last match of the Florida franchise.
Without Messi, Inter Miami takes a suitcase
The Major League Soccer did not stop during the international break. And Inter Miami had to make do without their star, Leo Messi. Against Kansas City, Leonardo Campana and Facundo Farias turned into heroes for a 3-2 victory. But on the night from Saturday to Sunday, Tata Martino’s team was no match for Atlanta United.
Leonardo Campana opened the scoring in the 25th minute of play, but was unable to prevent the debacle of Inter Miami. Goals from Tristan Muyumba, Kamal Miller against his camp, Brooks Lennon, Giórgos Giakoumákis then Tyler Wolff broke the Inter Miami lock. Leonardo Campana’s penalty goal in the 53rd minute of play only eased the pain of the river score inflicted on the Miami team.
The Argentinian affected
However, against Atlanta, Leo Messi could have participated in the meeting. But the Argentinian had to withdraw due to “muscle fatigue” according to coach Tata Martino, after two matches played with Argentina. Jordi Alba, his former Barça teammate, was also absent. The Argentine coach hopes to be able to find his two cracks to face Toronto, the only team lower ranked than Inter Miami in the Eastern Conference. But for the Florida team, it’s a setback. The slap received in Atlanta is neither more nor less than the first defeat for David Beckham’s club since the debut of Leo Messi, i.e. 11 consecutive matches without failure.
