It’s been a momentous week for Major League Soccer, as Inter Miami announced the acquisition of Lionel Messi. Amidst this news, the Florida-based franchise made their final decision with Rodolfo Pizarro.
North American football has been revolutionized with the arrival of the world champion. The anticipation surrounding Messi’s debut has captured the attention of millions.
Rodolfo Pizarro will not only be sharing the training ground with Lionel Messi but will also become the first Mexican national player to do so in Major League Soccer. The decision to bring Pizarro on board was announced shortly after Messi signed with Inter Miami.
Following his return to the squad for the 2023 season, Pizarro has been an undisputed starter at the club. However, after Phil Neville’s departure, interim coach, Javier Morales, decided to bench the national soccer player in his visit against New England.
