Lionel Messi confirmed as new captain of Inter Miami

  Coming on as a substitute on his Inter Miami debut, Lionel Messi swept the football world off their feet with a stunning last-gasp winner against Cruz Azul, last week. Now, Inter Miami head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino has confirmed that Messi will be wearing the captain’s armband in his second Inter Miami appearance.

The Argentine superstar, in all likelihood, is also expected to start Wednesday’s Leagues Cup match against Atlanta United. The duration of Messi’s stay on the field will, however, depend on his fitness, Martino said.  

This was always going to be expected as Messi would have signed to be given a major role for Inter Miami that's why they would have spent so heavily for him. Now the news have emerged that Linel Messi has been appointed as a captain of the club. He still has an uphill task at Inter Miami as the team is struggling to make any sort of impact what so ever and are rock bottom of the league. So this won't be an easy task for  Messi to bring  them up the table and I guess winning the league this season would be impossible.

Messi  has  been  the most sought after player in world football and Saudi clubs has tried their best to sign him this summer but they have failed to do so as he opted to move to America and now he is playing for Inter Miami.
