Lionel Messi plays his first MLS game in Southern California vs. LAFC, which knows it'll take an entire team effort to slow him and beat Inter Miami.
Soccer superstar Lionel Messi is poised to join David Beckham’s MLS team Inter Miami, marking the biggest transaction in league history.“It’s difficult to describe what is his best strength. Unique players do unique things,” said LAFC captain Carlos Vela, who faced Messi more than a dozen times in Spain and with the Mexican national team.
“We have to respect that. But we don’t have to be scared of them,” he said. “We cannot focus just on Messi. The game is LAFC against Miami. Last season, his final one with Paris Saint-Germain, Messi was the only player in Europe’s top five leagues to record 20 goals and 20 assists — and he sandwiched that around a remarkable World Cup in which he willed Argentina to a title, scoring seven goals in as many games to win the Golden Ball as the outstanding player for the second time in three tournaments.
