Inter Miami saw a three-game winning streak snapped by Red Bull New York on Saturday, and Lionel Messi is partially to blame for the Herons’ struggles at Sports Illustrated Stadium.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner had to fly to Spain on Wednesday to receive the Princess of Asturias Award for Sport the following day. Then, Messi made the long journey back to the United States in time for Inter Miami’s weekend MLS clash.
