A former MLS player Alexi Lalas has made a bold statement about Lionel Messi and Inter Miami. Messi and his teammates have had a great start to the 2024 MLS season.
Under Gerardo 'Tata' Martino's leadership, the team is leading the Eastern Conference with 10 points from five games. Miami has also advanced to the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Every year, more and more well-known players join American clubs. At the same time, clubs in the United States are also beginning to nurture their own talented players who catch the attention of European clubs.
Keeping this in mind, former MLS and USMNT star Alexi Lalas has guessed how Inter Miami might perform in the Premier League.
During a Q&A on X, Lalas simply replied: "Mid-table."
Most fans didn't agree with this unusual claim.
TBG: "Mid-table of the Championship, maybe."
@57_ats: "They would finish dead last. Might not even get a win."
@jasonnelsondc: "Usually on board with your takes - not this one. Lemme help ya here, mid-table of the Championship."
@Craig__1998: "This is why Americans shouldn't talk about football. Every single MLS team would struggle in the championship let alone the premier league."
BostonGMWatch: "Stop the cap"
@NickChallis92: "That's an absurd take? What MLS team is as good as Newcastle or Wolves?"
Here's the mid-table of the Premier League.
Can Inter Miami win one of these clubs? There's big doubts about that.
