Lionel Messi Won’t Start for Inter Miami Tonight and Expected to Play Around 30 Minutes off the Bench – Despite Fans Spending Thousands
Lionel Messi will not be starting for Inter Miami tonight. Instead, reports suggest that he will make his debut by playing the final 30 minutes of the match.
There has been significant excitement surrounding the arrival of Argentina’s World Cup-winning superstar. Fans have spent thousands of dollars to secure a seat in the stadium, with one listing even reaching a staggering $110,000 earlier this week.
However, those who have spent a significant amount of money to attend the DRV-PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale may be disappointed by the latest reports that Messi will not be starting against Cruz Azul in the MLS Leagues Cup.
According to The Athletic, Messi will be among the substitutes tonight. Coach Tata Martino plans to bring him on in the second half for the final 30 minutes of the match.
Sergio Busquets is also expected to feature, but Jordi Alba, whose signing was announced on Thursday, has not yet arrived in Miami as he recently became a father for the third time this week.
