“Please forgive me for feeling a bit emotional tonight.” It is truly a dream come true to welcome Lionel Messi to Inter Miami. Leo, we are so proud that you have chosen this club for the next phase of your career. Welcome to the family.

“We are also so proud to have the unique Sergio Busquets. One of the most complete midfielders of his generation.”
