On the 22nd, Son Heung-min's LAFC will face Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in the opening match of the Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States, piquing the interest of soccer fans. The match is significant as it marks the first meeting between the two stars on U.S. soil, despite having previously encountered each other during the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2018-2019, where Messi had the upper hand with one win and one draw against Son's Tottenham Hotspur. Although Messi sustained a hamstring injury at the beginning of the month, he returned to training on the 18th, indicating a strong possibility that he will play in the match, which has raised anticipation for the showdown.
