On July 24, during the press conference before the Atlanta United match in the second leg of Group J of the Leagues Cup, coach Gerado Martino confirmed that Messi will continue to wear the Inter Miami captaincy.

Previously, the captaincy belonged to 29-year-old Brazilian midfielder Gregore, but he is currently out for a long time due to a foot injury.

The decision to let Messi captain Inter Miami received great support from his teammates. Midfielder Robert Taylor said of Messi: “It’s amazing, it’s amazing, of course I’m excited for him to wear the captain’s armband”.

According to Athletic , Messi could start the game against Atlanta alongside former Barcelona team-mate Sergio Busquets, who also came on as a substitute against Cruz Azul.

Coach Martino said: “It is very likely that both Messi and Sergio Busquets will play with a longer number of minutes, even starting from the start. Everything will depend on how they feel. This is only their second game in Inter Miami”.
