Just days after his thrilling Inter Miami debut saw Lionel Messi secure victory with a stoppage-time goal, the soccer superstar is expected to make his first start for his new club.
Messi and Sergio Busquets are reportedly slated to both make their starting debuts for Inter Miami Tuesday night as they take on Atlanta United in Leagues Cup play (7:30 p.m. ET). Messi played his first game with Inter Miami on Friday, but came off the bench. He did not disappoint, though, as he thrilled the Fort Lauderdale, Florida crowd with a game-winning free kick to defeat Cruz Azul, 2-1 to open Leagues Cup play.
On Tuesday Inter Miami will take on a familiar MLS opponent in Atlanta United in their second Leagues Cup game in group stage action. A victory would secure a spot for Inter Miami in the knockout round.
