Inter Miami’s fortunes have turned around considerably since the arrival of Argentina star Lionel Messi, who has scored three goals in his first two matches for the team in the Leagues Cup. And there is more good news on the way for head coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, who will soon be able to call upon Messi’s former Barcelona teammate Jordi Alba, who has also signed for the MLS team.
The left-back’s career in the United States hasn’t yet got underway due to family issues, although it was revealed on Wednesday that the Spaniard will arrive in Miami on Friday and begin training with the team shortly after.

Ex-Barça trio hope to replicate success in Miami
Alba will, of course, be reunited with Messi – the pair enjoyed an almost telepathic relationship on the field – and Sergio Busquets, with whom he won a plethora of trophies at Camp Nou. The trio will be hoping to replicate their success in American soccer, with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner the centrepiece to The Herons’ ambitious project.
