Lionel Messi: How to watch, stream Inter Miami vs. Orlando City

Messi is coming off a Team of the Matchday-caliber week, helping Inter Miami open their 2024 campaign with a 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake and a 1-1 draw at LA Galaxy. He officially had 1g/1a and directly impacted all three goals – highlighted by a 92nd-minute equalizer at LA.

Though undefeated so far, head coach Tata Martino’s side has been susceptible to counter-attacks and shown wayward passing. But Messi can paper over those cracks, conjuring up high-value chances and making the difficult seem routine.

After he’s officially signed from Argentinos Juniors, new midfielder Federico Redondo could debut. Center back Nicolás Freire, who’s on loan from Pumas (Liga MX), also could see his first minutes.
