Inter Miami and Messi will feature in the opening game of the tournament on June 14th against Al Ahly. The Egyptian side will most likely be the easiest opponent that Miami will face in the tournament, so getting off to a good start is key.
The goat has so much knockout tournament experience under his belt in his illustrious career, so this stage will not faze him. What will be interesting to see is how he does on a weaker team, as Inter Miami are not seen as a serious threat to win the tournament on DraftKings Sportsbook at +6500 odds.
Getting out of the group and advancing to the knockout stages would be viewed as a success, even with the best player of all time. We have seen him perform at the highest level in recent years with Argentina, but in terms of at club level, it’s been a while since we have seen him dominate at the highest level.
Messi will be looking to show the world that even at 37 years old, he can still compete with the best players in the world.
