Messi Makes His Inter Miami Defense Debut on July 21 Against Cruz Azul

– Lionel Messi will make his debut in an Inter Miami shirt on July 21 against Mexican side Cruz Azul. This duel will take place in the Leagues Cup, a new competition that brings together MLS and Liga MX teams.

The madness of fans welcoming the arrival of the former Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and Barcelona player has spread since the news that he was brought to the MLS team. That’s why tickets for this game are already sold out and there’s word that resale is going to skyrocket. Ticket prices on the black market range from 1,319 to 6,000 US dollars.

With nothing finalized and final contract details finalized, Inter Miami are aiming for the Rosario-born player to make his debut on July 21 in their Leagues game against Mexican side Cruz Azul. This has been confirmed by Jorge Mas, the majority shareholder of the American club.

“I think there will always be before and after Messi when we talk about sports in the United States. I have very strong belief that we can create in North America and the United States, if not the best league, MLS one of the two best leagues in the world,” said Mas.

Owners of Inter Miami believe the Argentinian star’s arrival will be a huge boost for MLS. “Messi will be the greatest ambassador and recruiter in the history of Major League Soccer. His presence in the league will attract talent of all ages and all levels. I think this is an extraordinary and unprecedented opportunity before us.”
