Messi addressed the media via the official MLS website after the game, praising his team's excellent performance. Lionel Messi:

“It was a complete performance because we played a great game. We knew we had to come out with a lot of intensity today because Orlando demand it – a lot of bodies crashing, waiting in the back for the counter.”

"We were lucky to get the first goal, and that changed the whole game. After that we found spaces, we were able to play with more ease and it turned into a different type of game than we were expecting."

With three goals in as many games for Inter Miami this season, the renowned football player has made an early and significant effect in the Major League Soccer. Surprisingly, after three games and seven points, Inter Miami is atop the MLS Eastern Conference rankings. With that in mind, Tata Martino's team is preparing for their next CONCACAF Champions Cup matchup against Nashville on March 7.

Messi underlined the need of keeping up the momentum after their encouraging start to the season and the busy calendar that lies ahead, with major competitions like the Copa America and Leagues Cup drawing near. According to the MLS official website, Messi emphasised the significance of earning as many points as possible early on and the team's objective of gathering as many points as possible. He added: 

"It’s important to start well because then the league stops, another tournament will start. “It’s good to reach that altitude with some air under your wings, and that’s what we’ve proposed for ourselves: start this way and get the most amount of points possible before Copa América, Leagues Cup and everything that’s coming.”
