Without Messi. Inter Miami lost the first match of the season

Inter Miami contested a regular-season MLS match at their home ground against Club de Foot Montreal.

This fixture marked the fourth for Beckham's team in the current season. However, Lionel Messi was absent from this encounter as the Argentine forward rested. Despite the presence of Alba, Busquets, and Luis Suarez on the pitch, Inter Miami failed to secure points. Jordi scored a goal assisted by Sergio, yet this effort didn't aid Inter.

Messi and Beckham's team suffered their first defeat of the current season, having previously secured two victories and a draw. Presently, Miami tops the Eastern Conference with seven points after four matches. Remarkably, Inter Miami stands as the most prolific team, having netted ten goals, the highest tally in MLS thus far.

It is worth recalling that Messi and Suarez rescued Inter Miami from defeat in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
