Lionel Messi is set to become the new star of Inter Miami, which was one of the biggest signings in Major League Soccer history. Although he has yet to play a game for his new team, fans are already eagerly buying jerseys and other merchandise.
However, Messi’s first season in MLS could be a disappointment, not because of his performance, but because his team, Inter Miami, is currently one of the bottom places in the table and unlikely to make the playoffs.
In addition to Messi, other big-name players such as Sergio Busquets will join Inter Miami’s roster this season. They will also be joined by one of MLS’ best players in Josef Martinez.
Messi will not play against St. Louis, as he has not yet been officially introduced as a player. It is expected to debut after its big unveiling on Sunday, July 16 at 8:00 PM ET.
Expectations are high for Messi in MLS and many fans hope he will lead the team to a championship. However, he is unlikely to be the team’s top goalscorer as he is more likely to play a role in creating chances for his teammates.
Inter Miami is fast becoming a team of star players and it is possible that other former FC Barcelona players such as Jordi Alba could join the team in the future.
