‘We don’t care about Messi’: Atlanta United, before thrashing Inter Miami 5-2
In a recent game against rivals Atlanta United, Inter Miami suffered a 5-2 defeat due to unfavorable weather. This came after Atlanta United made unclear statements, such as “We don’t care about Messi.”
For the Florida-based team, which has just begun to appear in hundreds of headlines throughout the world, this defeat was unexpected.
They credit their recent fame to Lionel Messi, one of the modern GOATs, joining their previously unknown team.
The club had been making little headway in recent years as it climbed the difficult, steep mountain on the chart board.
Many questioned whether Messi would wave a magic wand and improve the small team’s standings after his move to the North American club.
He performed magic, but he did so by using his legs and his presence on the world stage.
What could be more motivating for a team than having a veteran player who was both a GOAT and an authority on how to run a successful squad?
However, in the game that is the focus of our discussion, problems associated with this imported reputation and power were brought to light as the opposing team attempted to boost their morale by not being afraid of Messi and Inter Miami appeared to lose theirs in the absence of their Argentine wildcard.
In addition to the four goals they already had, Atlanta United also added a fifth goal that they directly received from an Inter Miami player’s own goal. Messi’s team had no other word to use to characterize the game except “messy.”
Many have suggested that the mess developed as a result of the GOAT’s absence from the game.
The coach decided to rest the star, who had just returned on his national duty errand.

Most athletes are aware of the negative effects long trips may have on their bodies, particularly when there are important competitions in between.
Inter Miami is currently in second place in the MLS standings for the competition, but with the return of their champion, they could quickly move up to first. Atlanta United, who is in sixth place, is far behind.
We don’t care about Messi. We care about us. We want to be in the play-offs.
– Atlanta United
Following Lionel Messi’s decision to eat a certain pizza they thought was odd, Atlanta United continued to make fun of him after the game.
It is obvious that watching Lionel Messi play has changed the majority of the games between his team and opposing clubs.
Since more people attend games than only to watch Inter Miami players perform, it has an impact on teams like Atlanta United, who will likely face Messi on the field one day.
They should ideally not be concerned with the outcome of the match.
