Inter Miami’s training sessions have been significantly impacted by the presence of Lionel Messi, according to Robert Taylor, who praises the Argentine’s “unbelievable” talent.
The MLS team recently acquired Messi, who is a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, along with former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
Despite having only made one appearance as a substitute, Messi made a significant impact by scoring a stoppage-time free-kick, securing a 2-1 victory over Cruz Azul in the inaugural Leagues Cup.
Since joining the American team, Messi has been a role model, inspiring his teammates with his relentless pursuit of excellence during training and matches.

For Taylor, the experience of going from playing non-league football at Lincoln Moorlands Railway to being a teammate of World Cup winner Messi is a dream come true.
He reflects on how he would have laughed if someone had told him a few years ago that he would be playing alongside players like Busquets and Messi.
