Wilfried Zaha Sends Fiery Message to Lionel Messi Before Inter Miami Game

While speaking to the media head of the game Zaha shared his thoughts on facing Messi. He said, “We know what we want. So I feel like I’m just fixated on what we do on the day. As much as I appreciate Messi - He’s the GOAT, do you get what I mean? It’s Ronaldo and Messi. As soon as I’m playing against you I couldn’t care less about all of that stuff. I know what we want to do, and we’re trying to get the ninth win so that’s all I’m fixated on."

A Closer Look at the Game Between Inter Miami and Charlotte FC

MLS action is back after the international break, and Saturday night brings a blockbuster clash in Fort Lauderdale as Inter Miami hosts Charlotte FC at Chase Stadium. Miami may have the big names, but it’s Charlotte who arrives as the form side, riding an incredible eight-game winning streak—the second-longest run in league history since the shootout days.

For Charlotte, a playoff spot is within reach, while Miami need points fast with just nine matches left in their push for the postseason. Messi and Co. are also still stinging from that gutting Leagues Cup final loss in Seattle, and bouncing back won’t be easy. With their defense shaky and no Suárez leading the line, Miami could be in trouble if Charlotte bring their A-game again.
