Ever since the arrival of 'La Pulga' Lionel Messi in the city of Miami, the fortunes of the club have changed drastically as not only their stocks sky-rocketed, but they also ended up winning their first ever silverware as Lionel Messi's everlasting brilliance on the pitch was once again a subject to spectacle to the US fans as he led the club to a triumphant campaign in Leagues Cup.

Lionel Messi is one of the most popular and beloved sports personalities on the planet and wherever the Argentinian goes, the fans jam-pack the arena, streets, and in short, the entire place just to get a glimpse of 'once in a lifetime' walking work of art.

Inter Miami Vs Hong Kong XI - Match Report

Inter Miami, ever since Messi was subbed off in the 37th minute against Toronto FC in MLS 2023 on September 21, 2023, due to an injury, have gone on a torrid run of form, that has seen the club endure a 12-match winless run. This implies the importance of the World Cup winner in the side.

However, Inter Miami finally gained some much needed form before their Japan tour as they ran past the Hong Kong team by putting four past the Hong Kong XI's net as the club won 4-1, thanks to goals from Robert Taylor, Leonardo Campana, Lawson Sunderland, and Ryan Sailor.
