Inter Miami vs Cruz Azul: When is Messi’s debut?
In order for Messi to sign with Inter Miami, the club had to free up a Designated Player spot, which resulted in Rodolfo Pizarro being let go.
With the departure of the Mexican, the Florida club was able to finalize Messi‘s signing. They will look to get him on the field in the Leagues Cup, where they will open the competition against Cruz Azul.
