Lionel Messi and Inter Miami kick off their 2025 preseason against the reigning Liga MX champions, Club América.

Lionel Messi is sporting a new haircut this preseason, but otherwise, looked very much like the dangerous reigning MLS MVP as he scored the first Inter Miami goal of 2025 and played 66 minutes in a win against Mexican champion Club America in Las Vegas late Saturday night.

As Inter Miami prepare for the challenges of the 2025 MLS season and the Club World Cup, the club continues to bolster its squad. They confirmed the signing of another Argentine player who will join Lionel Messi on the field.
