The “Messi Cam” is back: What is it and which Inter Miami matches will it be used in?

After the victory in New York, Lionel Messi 's next match will be on Saturday the 26th against Cincinnati, starting at 8:25 p.m. in Florida . The Ohio team recently defeated Inter Miami 3-0 at home. This will be a tough challenge.

It will be the last match before the start of the Leagues Cup, where the best teams in MLS will face the best in Liga MX . Miami will face Atlas, Pumas, and Fernando Gago's Necaxa.

As a side note, it was confirmed today that there will be a "Messi Cam" during the Leagues Cup. This means that, in addition to Inter Miami's matches, the number 10's movements will be broadcast exclusively on TikTok .

The MLS All-Star Game recently took place in the US, and Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba decided to miss the tournament in order to rest. It's worth remembering that Inter Miami had to play in the Club World Cup, unlike most of their opponents .

Since Messi didn't sign up for part of the event, everything indicates he'll be sanctioned with a one-match suspension from MLS. The same goes for Jordi Alba. The match in which Mascherano is expected to be without them is Sunday, August 10, against Orlando, away. The date, however, will depend on how far Inter Miami finishes in the Leagues Cup . Either way, it's almost certain he'll miss the "Florida Classic."

Finally, Rodrigo de Paul has not yet been announced as Inter Miami's new signing, but several sources claim the deal is a done deal . If so, there's a chance the world champion's debut with Argentina will take place this month.

After the victory in New York, Messi's next match will be on Saturday the 26th against Cincinnati, as previously reported. It will be Inter's last match before the start of the Leagues Cup, where the best MLS teams will face the best of Liga MX . Miami will face Atlas, Pumas, and Fernando Gago's Necaxa.

Looking at the schedule, De Paul's debut with Inter is estimated to take place on Wednesday the 30th. Inter will face Atlas of Mexico on Matchday 1 of the 2025 Leagues Cup group stage.
