Earlier this month, Lionel Messi gave an interview in which he explained why he chose Inter Miami. The talk both touched and devastated hearts.
Fans all around the world found it difficult to comprehend the Argentine's decision not to play his final match for FC Barcelona in his homeland.
However, his justification for the choice—that he would burden the Blaugranas by restricting player sales—illustrated the worry he still harbored for his old employers.
The World Cup champion stated that Inter Miami was not his first choice when he spoke about his decision to join them today. Messi nonetheless reaffirmed his willingness to accept the new challenge. registering with Inter Miami? I'm OK, even though the original thought was different.

Even if Xavi Hernandez would not have preferred the unsuccessful attempt to recruit Messi, the Azulgranas now have the opportunity to use the same funds to acquire high-caliber players who will serve as the team's foundation for many years.
Given that Barcelona lacks a strong pivot after Sergio Busquets confirmed his departure, the defensive midfield position may not be a terrible place to start on that front.
Messi, who is currently the World Champion, has since resumed playing for the Argentine National Team. He even scored in the team's friendly game against Australia earlier today.
