Before that, Messi and his comrades. They will be back in action on Wednesday as they continue their trophy hunt in the US Open Cup semi-finals at VFC Cincinnati.
Then the team resumes MLS action – and its long shot at the playoffs – with Messi making his major league debut in New York against the Red Bulls on Saturday, before finally heading home on August 30.
On Saturday night, Messi scored early in regulation and converted the first penalty shot as Inter Miami beat Nashville SC 10-9 on penalties in the League Cup final on Saturday night.
Messi scored for the tenth time in seven matches since joining Inter Miami and converted it in the 23rd minute.
The ball landed at Messi’s feet after a pass from team mate Robert Taylor was blocked.

Messi dribbled past Nashville defender Walker Zimmerman and curled a shot from just outside the penalty area into the top left corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Eliot Panico did not have a chance to play the ball.
Nashville fans had booed Messi for his previous touches of the ball, but the stadium erupted into cheers when the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner scored last year’s World Cup title for Argentina.
Messi fired a shot from a similar position in the 71st minute, but hit the post as the two teams tied 1-1 in the standings.
Messi calmly converted the first penalty shot as Miami won its first title – and its forty-fourth.
