“I Wanted to Help the Club Become Bigger” – Messi on Joining Inter Miami
Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi has shared two key reasons behind his move to Major League Soccer (MLS).
The Argentine star joined Inter Miami in 2023 as a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain. Since then, he has been in top form, helping the club secure two major trophies.
Speaking about his decision, Messi revealed that he always wanted to experience MLS and contribute to its growth. He also saw an opportunity to help Inter Miami become a bigger club.
“I always had it in mind to play in MLS one day. Inter Miami caught my attention because the club is growing and developing. I wanted to be part of that journey and also help MLS become stronger as a global brand,” Messi said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has shared his prediction for the club’s upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester City.
United will take on their city rivals at Old Trafford in a highly anticipated derby on Sunday.
Speaking on The Overlap, Neville pointed out that United have performed well in big games this season, holding their own against teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, and City.
“I think it could end in a draw, maybe 1-1,” he said, adding that he and fellow pundit Jamie Carragher also considered a 2-2 result.
Meanwhile, United currently sit 13th in the league table with 37 points from 30 matches.
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has announced that this season will be his last at the club.
In a heartfelt message on social media, the Belgian star confirmed that his time with the Premier League champions is coming to an end, saying, “These will be my final months as a Manchester City player.”
De Bruyne, who joined City from Wolfsburg in 2015 for £54.5 million, has enjoyed a trophy-laden career at the Etihad. Over the years, he has helped the club secure six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five League Cups, and a Champions League trophy.
The 33-year-old was also a key part of Pep Guardiola’s historic treble-winning squad in the 2020/21 season.
Last summer, he received tempting offers from Saudi clubs but chose to stay in England for one more season.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca admitted he may have risked his team’s chances of holding on to their 1-0 lead over Tottenham Hotspur after making defensive substitutions late in the game.
Reflecting on the moment, Maresca acknowledged that his decision to make changes before seeing how much stoppage time would be added was a mistake. “We created plenty of chances in the first half, but when I saw 12 minutes of extra time, I realized it might have been too soon to make those changes,” he told reporters.
With the game nearing its end, Maresca swapped Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez for defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and midfield anchor Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, which allowed Spurs to intensify their attack in search of an equalizer during the extended stoppage time.
Thankfully for Chelsea, the strategy paid off as they managed to hold on for the win. “We’re happy we won, but it was a close call,” Maresca added.
