But in the Leagues Cup, a tournament where Messi, Busquets and Tata Martino have made their debuts, the club moved to the round of 32 after beating Cruz Azul 2-1 with a last-minute free-kick goal by Leo Messi and then won Atlanta United 4-0.
With Jodi Alba arriving to play the full-back position, Miami is among the favourites to win the tournament among Major League Soccer and Liga Mx teams and is predicted to display a different side when the U.S. competition resumes.
On Wednesday, Inter Miami will play Orlando City, and there is a chance that Alba will make his debut that same day for the team where David Beckham is a major shareholder.
