‘It's a complicated time’ - Messi speaks out after Inter Miami's bad results

The Herons began their 2025 season undefeated, showing promising development in both MLS and the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Inter Miami suffered another defeat, losing 3-0 to Orlando City in a Florida derby, with their last win coming on May 3 and are struggling to find positive results under Javier Mascherano.

Although they have lost five of their last seven games, a significant trophy remains within their reach.

Following another disappointing result at Chase Stadium against Orlando, talismanic club captain Messi shared his thoughts with Apple TV.

The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner said, “[We need to] keep going. It's a complicated time. But we'll all stay united.

“We're a team in difficult times, because when everyone wins, it's easy, but now that difficult times are coming, that's when we have to be more united than ever, be a true team, and move forward, because we have what it takes. Think about what's next and prepare for the next game.”

Ahead of a major FIFA tournament this summer, Messi expressed his hopes for Inter Miami to regain their momentum. 

He continued, “We're coming off a period of bad results. But we have to keep working and think about what's next. 

“With three or four games left in May, we [have to] finish the best possible way to be able to face the Club World Cup.”

Before their Club World Cup match against Al Ahly at Hard Rock Stadium on June 14, Inter Miami will face Philadelphia, Montreal and Columbus.
