Pundit slams MLS and Inter Miami fans for overhyping Lionel Messi's goals for the club.
Since he left Paris Saint-Germain and moved across the pond, the legendary Argentine has been the best player in Florida. His superstardom has attracted numerous fans to Miami, but it is his impressive performances on the pitch that has truly catapulted the club.
He led them to win the Leagues Cup last season, while guiding them to within touching distance of the US Open Cup. While Inter Miami were unable to reach the MLS playoffs last season, Lionel Messi looks set to take them there this season, as they sit on top of the Supporters' Shield standings.
Lionel Messi has scored seven goals and provided three assists in six league games for Miami this season, and he looks set to continue in this vein of form. However, Alexi Lalas thinks his goals have been overhyped by the league and Miami fans.
The former footballer told State of the Union podcast (via InterMiamiNews):
He is incredible, and this was such an interesting game because the goals that we have now started to associate him with MLS, we’ve been doing it for years with Barcelona and Argentina, we’re associating with these magical moments. And yet both of these goals were nothing."
