Inter Miami head coach Gerardo Martino spoke in an interview with AS about the motivation of Lionel Messi and his teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba in MLS.
He has come to win, he has come to compete. Busquets and Alba have said the same thing. They have come to compete, you can win and lose, but they have sold to compete and today they had to win.
Gerardo Martino, quoted by AS
Messi became the most decorated football player in history by winning the MLS League Cup with Inter Miami. In the final, the Argentine team defeated Nashville in a penalty shootout (the main time ended in a 1-1 draw), and Messi scored the first goal in the 23th minute. The world champion also scored a penalty in the penalty shootout.
