Messi came on as a substitute in Inter Miami's exhibition match in Tokyo, Japan. Inter Miami started almost all the main players in this game.
The organizer of the Japanese exhibition game described that Messi trained with full vigor, passed and ran very briskly, and participated in the entire training session. In the pre-match training on the evening of the 6th, Messi participated in confrontation training with the ball, which was only 2 days away from the exhibition game in Hong Kong. In that game, Messi did not appear due to injury.
