Since Messi’s high-profile playing debut on 22 July at the start of Leagues Cup 2023, he has played nine matches with the Fort Lauderdale franchise. However, the impact he has on the offensive tactics directed by Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino is evident in his involvement in 14 goals, with 11 goals and three assists recorded so far.
The captain of Inter Miami aims to lead his team to yet another victory on Wednesday, as the team has still not suffered a defeat since his arrival. They have amassed six wins in regular time and three draws, which ultimately turned into victories from the penalty spot. One of these penalty victories secured the franchise’s first title, and the most recent one secured their place in the US Open Cup final.
Nashville SC, a tought opponent
Coincidentally, they faced the team from the Music City in the final of Leagues Cup 2023, a head-to-head match that pushed them to their limits at Geodis Park. Following a 1-1 draw in regular time, the match went to penalties, requiring the goalkeepers from both sides to step up from the penalty spot. Now, at DRV PNK Stadium, they will strive to secure all three points against Nashville SC.
