Inter Miami held the LA Galaxy to a 1-1 draw on Feb. 26. Although the LA Galaxy had a mediocre record last season, their strength is still stronger than that of Inter Miami, and Phuket is also considered a former genius and a Barcelona veteran. But there is any team that Inter Miami does not have an advantage even Barcelona, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Bayern, and that is Messi.
Messi scored a crucial equalizer in stoppage time to help Inter Miami pick up a valuable point on the road and remain top of the Eastern Conference. The strength of Miami International can be seen from the preseason, when Messi did not play the whole game, and did not work too hard, and fought with injuries, Miami International did not win except for defeating weak teams such as the Hong Kong All-Star Team.
At the beginning of the new season, Messi returned from injury and played more seriously, and Inter Miami remained undefeated. Messi is the team's ceiling and the team's lower limit, not only the current Inter Miami, but also Barcelona and Argentina. Only the big Paris that does not build a team with him as the tactical core, but even if Messi's presence declines, he can still get the best of the game too many times.
After the game, Miami International head coach Martino was interviewed and said that the opponent dominated the first half, especially after Pudge had the ball, and he let the LA Galaxy play quite fluidly. The LA Galaxy have also brought in two stars this season, which has promoted the team. They have strong wingers and are solid defensively. Martino stressed that the opponent was so fierce, and finally said that it was Messi's talent that allowed Inter Miami to get a draw.
