Lionel Messi looking forward to Leagues Cup final with Inter Miami
Lionel Messi has turned things around for Inter Miami since joining them in July. He has scored nine goals in six matches for the MLS side in the Leagues Cup and has helped them reach the final.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of the Leagues Cup final this Saturday, Messi stated that he was delighted to help his team. He added that they have stuck together and helped each other get to the final. He said:
"Ever since the competition started, we knew that it would be starting from scratch because there's a new coach with the team, and like myself, other new players in the group. So, from the very beginning, we've done very well, thanks to the teammates already here. We knew, coming here, it was a chance to change things. This was a nice opportunity to start to change that."
Lionel Messi''s MLS debut could happen later this month on August 26th when they travel to face New York Red Bulls. The tickets for the game have already been sold out, with one NYRB fan reselling her ticket for $505 and getting knee surgery with the money, as per GOAL.
