Messi’s debut
Everything indicates that the debut of Messi and Busquets with Inter Miami will be on July 21 in the Inter Miami match against the Mexican Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup.
Argentine Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, who has already coached Messi at Barcelona and the Albiceleste team, led his first session as Inter Miami coach on Monday.
Inter Miami urgently needs all the reinforcements it can get to straighten out its season, since it is bottom of the East (18 points after 21 games) and accumulates ten games without knowing victory (three draws and seven losses).
The team in pink will have a tough confrontation on the next day in the field of St. Louis City, which has made its debut this year in style in the MLS and which occupies the first position in the West.
