Leo Messi, together with Inter Miami, has already set off for Atlanta, where tonight they will play their second group stage match of the Club World Cup against Porto. The Argentine superstar posted several photos on his Instagram, capturing the squad as they boarded the plane at the airport.
Messi shared snaps of himself, luggage in tow, making his way onto the aircraft bound for Atlanta. Also pictured alongside him was his close friend and teammate, Luis Suárez. Messi kept the caption simple: “✈️ ATLANTA.”
The photos clearly show the Argentine in high spirits, sporting a broad smile as he heads out for the crucial fixture.
As a reminder, Inter Miami played to a goalless draw (0-0) in their opening match against Egypt's Al Ahly. Next up, the American side faces Portugal's Porto, who also finished 0-0 in their first match against Brazil's Palmeiras.
It's worth noting that the Inter Miami vs Porto showdown will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
