One of Lionel Messi's upcoming opponents has vowed to not be overawed when he comes up against the Argentinian legend on what is expected to be his debut.
The 36-year-old is expected to sign for his new club Inter Miami imminently but will not make his debut until later in the month, with his bow slated to come on July 21. Surprisingly, the former Barcelona icon's first game in Herons colours will not come in MLS, however, and will instead be in the Leagues Cup.
The new tournament, which pits teams from the US' MLS against Mexico's Liga MX, will see the superstar winger take to the field for the first time for the South Beach outfit as they face off against Cruz Azul. Despite the sideshow surrounding the game, their opponents do appear to be focused on the job in hand, however.
