Following his summer transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami, Lionel Messi has enjoyed a fantastic start to life in Miami. However, the GOAT is likely to miss a few games for his new team in the near future.

The 36-year-old departed the French capital after two seasons to play for Inter Miami, a team that is co-owned by former Manchester United winger David Beckham, in the MLS and in Florida.

The superstar, who came up through Barcelona’s youth team ranks, is nearing the end of his career after winning everything there is to win in club competition.

Messi has already won a trophy with his new team, guiding Inter Miami to its first-ever Leagues Cup success in a penalty shootout victory over Nashville SC.The international player from Argentina is also in another final after helping the Herons defeat FC Cincinnati on penalties to advance to the US Open Cup championship game against the Houston Dynamo.

Recently, Messi finally made his MLS debut after spending an hour on the bench and scoring in a 2-0 victory over the New York Red Bulls. Tara Martino, the head coach of Inter Miami, stated following the match that the Florida club will have to adjust to winning without Messi due to the attacker being called up to play for the Argentina national team at times while the US side’s schedule will continue without him and others selected for international duty.

Martino told USA Today that it is crucial that we appreciate victory and that we do so in this manner because we must grow accustomed to it. Leo will miss at least three contests.

“His national team and others will both call him up. We are aware that occasionally the squad will have to win without them.Messi will miss Inter Miami’s games against Los Angeles FC, Kansas City, and Atlanta United since he is expected to play in Argentina’s forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Bolivia in September.
