After getting things back on track with a victory over the New York Red Bulls, Lionel Messi and Inter Miami will begin a road trip that sees them face one of the best teams in the Western Conference, Minnesota United. The Loons have quietly risen to second in the conference behind a stout defense that will be pushed to the limits facing the Herons.

Josef Martínez, the Venezuelan striker who played for Inter Miami in 2023, opened up about the transformative effect of Lionel Messi’s arrival at the club. In mid-2023, Lionel Messi shook up Major League Soccer (MLS) by announcing his move to Inter Miami after departing PSG as a free agent.
