THE‘Inter Miami is set to begin its third playoff campaign tonight (2:30) at Chase Stadium, hosting theAtlanta United. The first home playoff match in the history of the club owned by David Beckham. In view of the few hours that separate the commitment which could already mean a step towards history, it will be an exceptional first time also for Lionel Messi.
After leading Inter Miami first to the League Cup title and then to the Supporters’ Shield, the Argentine champion tastes the MLS Cup playoffs and try to build a charge for the title in the first match of the first round. As can be seen in the interview given to the well-known international transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Declaration. “I think we are one of the favorites, right? I think we are a team that has grown and learned to compete and that will compete against anyone. But I also think that there are teams that will be very, very difficult opponents and that will not give us anything. But I think other teams respect us as much as we do them.”
