Thierry Henry believes that the lack of talent in the American Football League is the reason for the suffering of Argentine star Lionel Messi with his team, Inter Miami. Inter Miami played 6 preparatory matches for the new season, during which it achieved only one victory, over Hong Kong.
The team also suffered 3 defeats, the most notable of which was a heavy loss to Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia with a score of 6-0. Henry said such instances of star players struggling to achieve consistency could happen anywhere in the world. Despite his current struggles, Messi helped his new team win the 2023 League Cup.
