After being at the top of the table for almost his entire career, Lionel Messi will now have to be with a team that stands at the bottom of the table. In the Eastern Conference table, Inter Miami has struggled to make an impact as the team sits in the last spot. This clearly indicates that a lot of work needs to be done in order to secure a good position.
Following the end of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, Messi’s decision to join Inter Miami has sparked excitement among football fans in the United States. The team faces an uphill battle as they currently languish near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, with just 15 points from 16 games and 11 defeats to their name. Aguero, eager to motivate his compatriot, sent Messi a lighthearted message highlighting the team’s position, urging him to push them up the table.
Sergio Aguero: “I spoke to Leo Messi yesterday, I sent him a message with a screenshot of the Eastern conf. standings and I said: ‘Your team is behind! You have to move up to 8th/9th!’ Messi cracked up. He said, ‘we have to make the playoffs!’” pic.twitter.com/gPjeDqNWdZ
