When his Inter Miami club lost 3-0 to Orlando City at home on Sunday night in MLS, Lionel Messi urged his teammates to be strong and overcome adversity. As a result of the loss, Inter Miami now has a winless streak of seven games in all competitions.
After the match, Argentina’s captain spoke to Apple TV, saying, “It’s a difficult time, but we are going to come through this.”
The true test of our teamwork will now be upon us. Things are tough right now. In good times, it’s easy; in bad times, like right now, it’s not.
Getting through this will require us to be more together than before, he said. Next up for Inter Miami is a Sunday matchup with league leaders Philadelphia. Having accumulated 22 points so far, Inter Miami finds themselves in sixth place.
