Messi made an immediate impression with his crucial Major League Soccer (MLS) debut goal when he entered the game in the second half against the Red Bulls. However, Martino has made clear his plans for their leader’s impending future, so supporters might have to savour these memories for a long.
Tata Martino on Lionel Messi
Tata Martino said, ‘Lionel Messi is going to miss at least 3 games, he will get called up for his national team.’ The renowned playmaker will probably be called upon to represent his native Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers, which begin next month.
In September, the Albiceleste will play Bolivia and Ecuador before facing Paraguay and Peru in October. Then, in November, Argentina will square off against rivals Brazil and Uruguay; it is practically a given that Lionel Messi will play in these contests.
Inter Miami will be in a precarious position as a result, but Tata Martino has publicly advised his team that they must become “accustomed to winning” without relying on Lionel Messi all the time.
Messi’s goal helps Miami trump NY Red Bull
Manager Tata Martino chose prudence following a week in which Inter Miami won the Leagues Cup and qualified for the US Open Cup final. He made the decision to give the seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or some much-needed recuperation.
When he finally entered the game in the 60th minute, he engineered an incredible goal that allowed Inter Miami to win 2-0. Just when the Red Bulls believed they had survived the worst, Messi broke their defence in the 89th minute with a goal reminiscent of his best moments at Barcelona.

The Argentine virtuoso’s boot served as the culmination of a graceful team effort. Messi had previously scored game-changing goals for Inter Miami in various tournaments, but this was his first goal in an MLS regular-season match.
The storied attacker has already made an impression in the USA, scoring an incredible 11 goals and dishing out six assists in only nine matches for Miami. Both times he has come from the bench, Lionel Messi has managed to score a late effort, including a truly stunning free-kick in injury time against Cruz Azul.
Under the leadership of Lionel Messi, Inter Miami won their first-ever trophy in history. David Beckham will be hoping that Messi Magic elevates his team to newer heights this coming season.
