The former FC Barcelona captain made the move to America following the expiration of his contract with the French powerhouse and put pen to paper on a deal that will run through the summer of 2025.
Since then, the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner has been making headlines, drawing several supporters’ attention to the club owned by former Manchester United player David Beckham.
Lionel Messi has had a fantastic start to his career with Inter Miami. In his first two Leagues Cup games, Messi scored three goals, one against Cruz Azul and two against Atlanta United. The Argentine’s player has been well received by the team’s fan base.

Speaking to reporters, Yedlin said: “That was Messi to the team. I don’t know if he bought them, but he gave them to everyone for his first game”.
