Despite the absences, Inter Miami held FC Cincinnati to a 0-0 draw at Chase Stadium on Saturday night. The team also presented new signing Rodrigo De Paul prior to kick off, introducing the World Cup winner and Messi's Argentina teammate to fans.

FC Cincinnati and Inter Miami had quality chances to take the lead, but neither team prevailed in the 0-0 draw.

The 31-year-old star is officially Messi's club teammate after Inter Miami announced De Paul's arrival on Friday. It's a reunion for the two Argentina stars who led the Albiceleste to the 2022 World Cup title in Qatar.

As Inter Miami prepares for a crucial clash against Eastern Conference leaders FC Cincinnati, the lingering question remains: Will Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba be suspended for missing the 2025 MLS All-Star Game?

Lionel Messi fans will be able to watch the Argentine World Champion again on a TikTok live stream for four upcoming matches. Here's when it begins.

Sports development is booming for major league sports teams all over the country, and Miami is putting its own spin on the trend.

The Messi cam is "pushing the boundaries of how fans experience the game," said MLS Executive Vice President of Media Seth Bacon. Bacon added, "With this collaboration, we're bringing fans even closer to one of the greatest players of all time- in a way that's dynamic, immersive, and made for the next generation of fans.
